Lyrics

The Good Life

This holy circus camp

Aladdin and his lamp

A feverish daydreams and suerte loca

My face in magazines

The lesbian James Dean

I got all I ever wanted

So I don't mind saying

This is how the good life's supposed to be

The good life for you, for me

Well I don't mind saying

This is how the good life's supposed to be

The good life for you, for me

Down miles of empty road

With acolytes in tow

You could be Persephone

A pigeon through the glass

A drunken trapeze act

Well you got all you ever wanted

So I don't mind saying

This is how the good life's supposed to be

The good life for you, for me

Well I don't mind saying

This is how the good life's supposed to be

The good life for you, for me

Well I don't mind saying

This is how the good life's supposed to be

The good life for you, for me

Well I don't mind saying

This is how the good life's supposed to be

The good life for you, for me

Well I don't mind saying

This is how the good life's supposed to be

The good life for you, for me

Well I don't mind saying

This is how the good life's supposed to be

The good life for you, for me
