Came home after the moon trip
Didnât 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 guyâs got no taste, the guy in the corner, heâs John Birch
And I heard that you bin callin, and I ainât pickin up the phone
You came to me in a dream one time and said leave me alone
Oh life ainât tragic mostly
Life is magic somely
And I found myself writin long poetic lines with awesome rhymes
And maybe youâre thinkin Dylan, but to me itâs just that shit
Alexander Pope was runnin, and hey
Donât blame me for a crooked nose
That my vocal passage blows a certain way
I am Godâs 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 ainât magic mostly
Life is tragic somely
Maybe weâre one too many cats
Maybe one of us should be a dog
Maybe I just wanna wake up under a hollow log
Maybe Iâm 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
Iâll 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 thereâs a bar, but I bet itâs easy to smuggle in beer
Someoneâs makin shortbread
Nothing ever smelled so good
Johnny boy I think youâre 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 eyeâs my friend
Guess thatâs just how weâll let this particular story end
I played catch with some kid today on the other side of the fence
Ainât seen his face donât know his name, the best part was the silence
Oh life ainât tragic mostly
Life is magic somely
Life is life Ali
Frazierâ¦.
