Introspective piece about paradox.

lyrics

Strange Life
© 2011 The Squirrel Hillbillies

There's a crack across the windshield
Don't remember how it got there
Seems like something's always kicking up along the road
There's a book by Vonnegut
My copy worn from reading it
Years ago I circled every phrase of, "So it goes"

It's a strange life, it's a beautiful, strange life
It's a strange life, it's a beautiful, strange life

Flowers in the hallway
You bought for my birthday
Seems they should be wilting but they look just the same
Houseplant growing like a tree
Tangled in the drapery
Seems it wants to fill the world right through the windowpane

It's a strange life, it's a beautiful, strange life
It's a strange life, it's a beautiful, strange life

By the time you realize it
You're planning out your exit
Divvy up the bank accounts, stereo, TV
Documents are written
Speeches have been scripted
Saying what a wise and gentle person you could be

It's a strange life, it's a beautiful, strange life
It's a strange life, it's a beautiful, strange life

There's a crack across the windshield
Don't remember how it got there
Seems like something's always kicking up along the road...
