I woke up this morning
feeling pretty good
and pretty good is really good for me, now
had a cigarette, some coffee and some CNN
and the buses run down Sunset just for me
yeah the buses run down Sunset today for free
and the earth is round and the earth is flat
well I just don't seem to care about that or a
perfect life, fortune and fame, a model wife
it don't mean a thing, yeah
I know this and I know that
all of it don't seem to matter that much
'cause it's ashes to ashes and dust to dust
the rich and wise die the same as us, yeah
so many things
used to mean so much to me
but now I just can't remember what they are
well, the telephone is ringing, but it's not for me
gotta remember to write a note "Max, Jill called"
yeah I gotta learn to be considerate
and the earth is round and the earth is flat
well I just don't seem to care about that or a
perfect life, fortune and fame, a model wife
it don't mean a thing, yeah
I know this and I know that
all of it don't seem to matter that much
'cause it's ashes to ashes and dust to dust
and the rich and wise die the same as us, yeah
through the sham and horror and drudgery
well it is still a beautiful world
be careful and try your best to live happy
well that is what I read on a bathroom wall
yeah that is what it said on the bathroom wall
and the earth is round and the earth is flat
well I just don't seem to care about that or a
perfect life, fortune and fame, a model wife
it don't mean a thing, yeah
I know this and I know that
all of it don't seem to matter that much
'cause it's ashes to ashes and dust to dust
and something 'round here just never adds up, no no
oh no no
just never adds up, no
just never adds up (x3)
