what's good (the thesis)

Life’s like a mayonnaise soda
and life’s like space without room
and life’s like bacon and ice cream...

cremation - ashes to ashes

Well the coal-black sea waits for me-me-me

the coal-black sea waits forever

The waves hit the shore

crying more-more-more

but the coal-black sea waits forever

The tornados come up the coast they run

hurricanes rip the sky forever

Through the weathers change

the sea remains the same

the coal-black sea waits forever

There are ashes split through collective guilt

people rest at sea forever

Since they burnt you up

collect you in a cup

for you the coal-black sea has no terror

Will your ashes float

like some foreign boat

or will they sink absorbed forever

Will the Atlantic Coast, have its final boast

nothing else contained you ever

Now the coal-black sea waits for me-me-me

the coal-black sea waits forever

When I leave this joint at some further point

the same coal-black sea will it be waiting

what's good

Life's like a mayonnaise soda
and life's like space without room
And life's like bacon and ice cream
that's what life's like without you
Life's like forever becoming, but -
- life's forever dealing in hurt
Now life's like death without living
that's what life's like without you
Life's like Sanskrit read to a pony
I see you in my mind's eye
strangling on your tongue
What good is knowing such devotion
I've been around, huh
I know what makes things run
What good is seeing eye chocolate
what good's a computerized nose
And what good was cancer in April
why no good, no good at all
What good's a war without killing
what good is rain that falls up
What good's a disease that won't hurt you
why no good, I guess, no good at all
What good are these thoughts that I'm thinking
It must be better, huh
not to be thinking at all
A styrofoam lover with emotions of concrete
no not much, not much at all
What good is life without living
what good's this lion that barks
You loved a life others throw away nightly
it's not fair, huh, not fair at all
What's good
oh baby, what's good
What's good
what's good, not much at all
Huh, hey baby, what's good (what's good)
What's good (what's good)
what's good (what's good)
not much at all
What's good (what's good)
what's good (life's good)
Life's good (life's good)
what's good (life's good)
but not fair at all
