Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
"Get nothing going" is a sweet lament
"Do what you gotta do" is all you got
Gather up the things and run to the void
Remember what you been taught
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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 somehow
[Verse 5]
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
