lyrics

Instead of sad songs
Give me one long
Rama lama doodle all the day

I could spend my whole life playing
In a regionally famous band
I could spend my whole life saying
I’m a reasonably blameless man
I could spend my whole life swaying
In the breezes of an aimless plan
I could end my life by my own hand
and it would be okay

If my swan song
Could be one long
Rama lama doodle all the day

One long silver thread that goes
From a spool stuck down my throat
To the sky to crochet clouds

I could spend my whole breath sputtering
At sentences that don’t come out
I could spend my whole breath chattering
At shit I don’t know shit about
I could spend my whole breath muttering
The shit I’m too controlled to shout
The shit I’m scared I’ll say someday out loud
It can be okay

If my swan song
Could be one long
Rama lama doodle all day

I could make a choir of angels sing
Earn your halos, angels, earn your wings
I’m in Heaven with the sound of strings
With all my soul I thank you for these things
Make it all okay

Make our swan song
To be one long
Rama lama doodle all the day

I could spend my whole life trying
To be better than I’ve ever been
I could spend my whole life sighing
Over settlements and dividends
I could spend my whole life lying
And pretending it would ever end
I’d be wondering whether and if and when
It would be okay
For my swan song
To be one long
Rama lama doodle all the day
