Came home after the moon trip Didn't have a lot to say Guess my mind was shot pretty good since seein the Milky Way And my gal was kinda wonderin which way it was gonna go And so was I by the way
And I was not ready to enlist another soul in my research That guy's got no taste, the guy in the corner, he's John Birch And I heard that you bin callin, and I ain't pickin up the phone You came to me in a dream one time and said leave me alone
Oh life ain't tragic mostly Life is magic somely
And I found myself writin long poetic lines with awesome rhymes And maybe you're thinkin Dylan, but to me it's just that shit Alexander Pope was runnin, and hey Don't blame me for a crooked nose That my vocal passage blows a certain way I am God's only son No mistakin this time around
And how much is it worth To finally get some sleep Without heroin or Valerian, or Tylenol Pm And I figured I might just put my Mexican money where my mouth is Go two hands on the forehand and backhand Like Monica Seles, Pancho Segura, Marion Bartoli To name some
Oh life ain't magic mostly Life is tragic somely
Maybe we're one too many cats Maybe one of us should be a dog Maybe I just wanna wake up under a hollow log Maybe I'm Luke the Drifter And my nature is to drift Maybe I got one masterpiece in me, like Johnny Swift Yeah but if I never get there I'll be all right with that Tomorrow sundown could be nothin left of me but my hat Hello Johnny Hello Johnny
Johnny let me be the first to welcome you in here Not sure if there's a bar, but I bet it's easy to smuggle in beer Someone's makin shortbread Nothing ever smelled so good Johnny boy I think you're gonna like this neighborhood I do not want to live my life from regret
Either way, stay or go, go or stay Just do one or the other
With one of your eyes I fell in love, the other eye's my friend Guess that's just how we'll let this particular story end I played catch with some kid today on the other side of the fence Ain't seen his face don't know his name, the best part was the silence Oh life ain't tragic mostly Life is magic somely Life is life Ali Frazier?
