Eels - Good Night on Earth lyrics

Once upon a time, mom and dad felt fine Thought it was time for a birth Ever since then the trouble never ends But it's a good night on earth Get nothing going is a sweet lament Doing what you gotta do is all you got Gather up the things and run to the void Remember what you been taught Soak it all in like tonic and gin Everything for what it's worth Is relative, but look my friend It's a good night on earth Once upon a time I was feeling fine And you know that time is now Nothing gonna wreck it, you know I can't deflect it I always do so now Everyone's a critic, I can't stand heels So says Colin Firth Rain on my parade, then the clouds fade It's a good night on earth
