lyrics

13. Living on Earth

We’re hand me downs from the lost and found
We’re not put here to stay
We’re refugees, down off the trees
Who hope to walk upright one day.

Isn’t it funny and rather sublime that we’re
living on Earth at the very same time?

Living on Earth

We booked this club for a limited engagement
All the time our luck allows
You be my manager, I’ll be your agent
‘Till we take our final bows.

We’re lotto winners, the original sinners,
We got our apple pie in the sky
We’re rank beginners at senior dinners
We’re trying to see eye to eye

We’re dining on sunbeams and sweet water wine
we’re living on Earth and we’re doing just fine.

Living on Earth

Gentlemen and elephants made out of the elements
Ladies who can dance in pants
Polar bears and burkas, holy men and workers
Salamanders, fleas, and ants.


We’re sailing on sunlight we’re surfing the breeze
We’re living on Earth with the greatest of ease….

Living on Earth

The bought and sold is getting old
The “who owes what to whom”
We’ll pay the price, the web of life
is coming off the loom.

We’re dancing on razor blades stuck in the sand
We don’t want to see what we don’t understand.

Living on Earth

Come along I’ll lay my shadow down
‘Cross the mud puddle in your path
Don’t want to spy on the one on high
But I cry when she does the math.

We’re vagabonds with stocks and bombs
We hope someday will pay
We’re bags of bones with megaphones
That’s all I have to say…

But isn’t it funny and rather sublime that we’re
Living on Earth at the very same time?

Living on Earth
