Martha Wainwright - Pretty Good Day lyrics

(2003 Tour Version) I slept through the night, I got through to the dawn I flipped a switch & the light went on I got out of bed, I put some clothes on It was a pretty good day so far I turned the tap, there was cold, there was hot I put on my coat to go to the shop I stepped outside & I didn't get shot It's a pretty good day so far I didn't hear sirens or explosions No murders coming in from those heavy guns No UN tanks, I didn’t see one It's a pretty good day so far No snipers in windows, taking a peak No people panic, running scared through the streets I didn't see any bodies without arms, legs, or feet It's a pretty good day so far There was plasma & bandages & electricity Food, wood & water & the air was smoke-free No camera crews from my TV Pretty good day so far It was all such a strange sight to behold Nobody was frightened, wounded, hungry, or cold The children seemed normal, they didn't look old Pretty good day so far I walked through a park & you would not believe it There in the park, there were a few trees left And on some branches, there were a few leaves It's a pretty good day so far I slept through the night, I got through to the dawn I flipped the switch & the light came on I wrote down my dream & I made it this song It's a pretty good day so far
