Take The Long Way Home

Did you ever read Voltaire's Candide? 

He says live life at Benny Hill freak out speed 

Not a quote of what he wrote but a paraphrase 

Make it up as you go Keyser Soze 

Highlights yes but don't underline 'em 

Just live for N.O.W. like Gloria Steinem 

Life is like Marion Berry 

It's not all that it's cracked up to be 

Like Fred Sanford when the big one comes 

Find the meaning of life is there is none 

It's twenty-four hours when you call it a day 

Be Frank and say I did it My Way 

Don't give a Flying Nun no don't give a Gidget 

Just have more fun than a well-oiled midget 

If life were picture perfect you could frame it 

But the world is a diaper so let someone else change it 



Life is an aimless drive that ya take alone 

Might as well enjoy the ride take the long way home 



All born equal unless you're Canadian 

Then halfway through decay like Uranium 

You define what's death defying 

Get the most out of life or at the least die trying 

Are you Evil Knievel jumpin' a train? 

Or runnin' with scissors like Frasier Crane? 

Have really good times doin' really bad things 

'Cause the show ain't over 'til the fat lady sings 

Like Elton John with his Candle In The Wind 

It's hard to blow out a flame as big as him 

But we've all got to Wang Chung with the Grim Reaper 

Whether you're Einstein whether you're Beaker 

Death is certain so it's definitely worth flirtin' 

Don't expect a bright light no just curtains 

Life is like a penis most people don't know it 

But most people suck so they usually blow it 



Life is an aimless drive that ya take alone 

Might as well enjoy the ride take the long way home 



Life is an aimless drive that ya take alone 

Might as well enjoy the ride take the long way home
