TWO HOMELESS OLD MEN
NOT LOOKING SO FAR FROM DEATH
IN THE DOORWAY
DRINKING COKE IN PAPER BAGS

ONE SAID TO THE OTHER
WITH A SMELL IN HIS MOUTH
AND SOME CLOUDS IN HIS EYES
I KNOW THAT WE ARE WAITING FOR THE GOOD LIFE

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
YEAH THE GOOD LIFE
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'D LIKE
GET A BEER SMOKE A CIGAR
AND ERASE IN OUR MINDS
THE COLORS OF THE WALLS LET'S HAVE A GOOD LIFE

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
YEAH THE GOOD LIFE
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
YEAH THE GOOD LIFE
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
YEAH THE GOOD LIFE
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'D LIKE
TAKE A PLANE TAKE OUR TIME
LET US RAISE OUR PAPER BAGS
TO THE ANGELS UP ABOVE THEY'RE NOT COMING DOWN

FOR THE GOOD LIFE
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
