Another crummy perfect day
Waking up in l.a.
I never thought that i would stay so long
Dusty leaves and bees are hummin'
Ten day says there's no rain comin'
The sun is shining 'cause
It nearly always does
So what else can i say
What a life
What a life
What a life we lead
I'm just layin' here
So wake me when it's time to leave
Orange sky and ashes falling
I can't get home the car keeps stalling
How lucky can i get?
I am so fortunate
What a life
What a life
What a life we lead
I'm just waitin' here
So wake me when it's time to leave
Yeah, wake me when it's time to leave
Well, it's another perfect day
I guess i wouldn't have it any other way
What a life
What a life
What a life we lead
I'm just layin' here
Gotta wake me when it's time to leave
Yeah, wake me when it's time to leave
What a life
What a life
What a life we lead
I'm just layin' here
So wake me when it's time to leave
Yeah, wake me when it's time to leave
