I passed a stranger on the street
He asked me for a light
He looked at me kinda funny
When I stopped to think twice
I said, "My heart is full of darkness
And I don't know what to do"...
He said, "I'm just tryin' to smoke a cigarette here,
I didn't mean to intrude..."
I headed to the local dive
In search of some relief
I knew the cute bartender
Has a philosophy degree
I joked "Pour me a shot of Nietzsche"
She said, "That's not the drink for you...
You clearly need some inspiration
I think I need a little, too..."
We should be living the good life
All over the place, all over the place
We should be soaking up sunshine
All over our face, all over our faces
We were made for greatness
She poured us a couple of Mai Tais
And she said, "Let's run away,
I can see we're kindred spirits,
Life's too short to play these games...
There must be 50 ways to leave our lovers,
Simon says this much is true..."
And with that, we slipped out the back, Jack
And got a cheap hotel room
We should be living the good life
All over the place, all over the place
We should be soaking up sunshine
All over our face, all over our faces
We were made for greatness
We could live on nothin'
Hangin' out on sunny beaches
We don't need no money
We were born with all we need, yeah
We should be living the good life
All over the place, all over the place
We should be soaking up sunshine
All over our face, all over our faces
We were made for greatness
We were made for greatness
We were saved by grace, it's all around us
I woke up with a stranger
And she asked me for a light
