07 The Whole Shebang
(Grant Lee Phillips)
Darlin' you can't live your life singing songs in exile, you were born
for stardom's crown and not for self denial,
so don't you close the door on fate,
when she comes to call,
and tell her that you'll join her there,
at the masqueraders ball,
funny how some people never love at all...
We'll take the whole shebang,
all or nothing, anything,
ecstasy's the birthright of our gang
We'll take the whole shebang,
free your heart of guilt and shame,
come and claim what's yours the whole shebang
Nothing on this earth
could hold you prisoner my dear
except for contemplations evil,
brother, known as fear but love is extraterrestrial,
and love falls from the stars,
like Maxwell Demon's silver disc
into this world of ours,
Kick up your heels and paint your face,
wave goodbye to yesteryear,
we could sway in outer space from the chandelier
Woe, sometimes it breaks my heart to hide my tears
--
The story is a sad one, told many times.
The story of my life in trying times.
Just add water, stir in lime.
How the west was won and where it got us.
R.E.M.
