Lyrics
It All Ends The Same (2013) Andy Comeau
A STRONGMAN FROM THE CARNIVAL
WAS IN MY DREAMS LAST NIGHT
HE HAD AN ACORN FOR A HEAD AND HE RODE UPON A BIKE
HE SAID NOW, LISTEN TO ME
IN YOUR DREAMS IT’S NOT JUST BALLYHOO
REMEMBER EVERYTHING I SAY, I’VE SEEN THE FUTURE YOU.
***DON’T SAVE ALL YOUR MONEY TO BUY A BIGGER YACHT
DON’T SPEND YOUR TIME OBSESSING
OVER THINGS YOU HAVEN’T GOT
SIX FOOT DOWN DON’T PAY NO MIND TO FORTUNE,
LOOKS OR FAME
WHEN A HUNDRED YEARS GO BY, IT’S TIME,
IT ALL ENDS THE SAME
CHORUS:
DRINK THAT SMOKY FROG OR HEADY TOPPER IN A CAN
IF YOU GOT SOMEONE TO GRAB
THEN DO IT EVERY CHANCE YOU CAN (YES 3X)
DRINK THAT SMOKY FROG OF HEADY TOPPER IN A CAN
IF YOU GOT SOMEONE TO GRAB
THEN DO IT EVERY CHANCE YOU CAN
BRIDGE:
REMEMBER LOVE, LOOKS NOT WITH EYES BUT WITH THE MIND (ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE)
THAT’S WHY CUPID’S PAINTED BLIND
(LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE)
A LEOPARD IN A LEOTARD WAS NOW UPON THE CYCLE
SHE SAID I TIRE OF EXERCISE AND POLKA DOTS AND TRIFLES
SHE SAID HER LATEST NOVEL
WAS THE NEXT BIG NEW RELIGION
ABOUT THE RAINBOW IN THE OIL ON THE WINGS OF A PIGEON
