Life is a Song ft. Jim Katsiaficas Lyrics

I'm sleeping it's a Saturday

I wake to see the moon

There was a time when I would sleep

Until the afternoon

I've reached an age where no one really

Tells me what to do

So why does thinking wake me up

At four or three or two?

If I lived all by myself

I'd Play "My Aim is True"

"Blood on the Tracks" or "Aja"

Miles Davis "Kind of Blue"

Instead I wander silently

A finger on my phone

I'm everywhere and nowhere

In a crowd and all alone

School was full of rules about

The world and how to be

The answers all were in the back

It's simple 1-2-3

It turns out there's no one here

To write my life story

So I make up lyrics as I go

Life is a song to me

I can't remember what we did

As minutes ticked on by

Before the Internet became

The ocean and the sky

We had to talk with people to

Hear what they had to say

Which meant we looked them in the eye

And shared the time of day

Maybe someone told me once

How things were gonna be

But you know I'm pretty sure

None of this was explained to me

People all around me then

Who were telling me the score

I don't see a single one of them

Here to help me anymore

There was a time my kids were young

I did the same thing to 'em

I thought I had to armor them

So the world could never screw 'em

I've stopped it now and try to give them

Useful things instead

"Close to the Edge" "Wish You Were Here"

"Harvest" and "Workingman's Dead"

"Graceland" and "Nebraska"

And then "Led Zeppelin II"

I think you'll find that most of them

Are absolutely true

I've no idea what's coming next

You'll have to find your way

And that may be easier for you to do

If you listen to Lana Del Rey
