So, what should we do now?
Hey! How about a story?
Let's all tell them a story
What story?
The sort of us story!
What's it about?
What's it about? What's any story about?
It's about life
Life! Do you know what life is?
Life is a glass of rum
No!
Life is a sip of sage
Life is the taste of raki flowing warmly from the cup
Shut up!
Life is a walnut leaf
No!
Life is an olive tree
No!
Life is a scented melon-breasted woman
When her lips are red and full
Life is a barbered planted orchard
And two lovers passing by it
Life is my fist in your face if you don't keep quiet
I said!
Life is my fist in your face if you don't keep quiet
Oh!
Oh!
Wait!
Listen to me
I will tell you
Life is what you do
While you're waiting to die
Life is how the time
Goes by
Life is where you wait
While you're waiting to leave
Life is where you grin
And grieve
Having if you're lucky
Wanting if you're not
Looking for the ruby underneath the rot
Hungry for the pilaf in someone else's pot
But that's the only choice you've got
Life is where you stand
Just before you are flat
Life is only that
Mister, life is simply that
Mister, that and nothing more than that
Life is what you feel (life is what you feel)
Till you can't feel at all (till you can't feel at all)
Life is where you fly
And fall
Running for the shelter
Naked in the snow
Learning that a tear drops anywhere you go
Finding it's the mud that makes the roses grow
But that's the only choice you know
ย
Wait!
Once again
ย
Life is what you do
While you're waiting to die
This is how the time goes by
