Take the Long Way Home Lyrics

Did you ever read Voltaire's, 'Candide'?
He says, "Live life at Benny Hill freak out speed"
Not a quote of what he wrote but a paraphrase
Make it up as you go Keyser SozeHighlights yes but don't underline em
Just live for N.O.W. like Gloria Steinem
Life is like Marion Barry
It's not all that it's cracked up to beLike Fred Sanford when the big one comes
Find the meaning of life is there is none
It's twenty-four hours when you call it a day
Be Frank and say, "I Did It My Way"Don't give a Flying Nun no don't give a Gidget
Just have more fun than a well-oiled midget
If life were picture perfect you could frame it
But the world is a diaper so let someone else change itLife is an aimless drive
That ya take alone
Might as well enjoy the ride
Take the long way homeAll born equal unless you're Canadian
Then halfway through decay like Uranium
You define what's death-defying

Get the most out of life or at the least die tryingAre you Evil Knievel jumping a train
Or running with scissors like Frasier Crane?
Have really good times doing really bad things
Cause the show ain't over til the fat lady singsLike Elton John with his Candle in the Wind
It's hard to blow out a flame as big as him
But we've all got to Wang Chung with the Grim Reaper
Whether you're Einstein whether you're BeakerDeath is certain so it's definitely worth flirtin'
Don't expect a bright light no just curtains
Life is like a penis most people don't know it
But most people suck so they usually blow itLife is an aimless drive
That ya take alone
Might as well enjoy the ride
Take the long way homeLife is an aimless drive
That ya take alone
Might as well enjoy the ride
Take the long way home
