This Dreadful Life Lyrics by Kay Hanley

Cherry Marmalade

0

Oh the simple days
In a haze out on peaceful seas
And you shook me out of my dungarees

And it's true
It's not a lie how time does fly
Especially in good company

Elevated by the view
And i got myself so terribly unglued

Oh the simple days
I'm amazed despite my strategies
And there can't be many days like these

So gimme gimme everything this dreadful life has got to adore
They said i had enough but now i think i really need some more
Cause i like the sounds of my feet hitting the ground

Don't be so afraid you've got it made
You're only 25 but johnny black and humbolt green
Made it worth the drive

And it's not a lie
Because it's true youth is wasted on youth
Especially when you let it pass you by

Elevated by the view
And i've got myself so totally confused

Gimme gimme everything this dreadful life has got to adore
They said i had enough but now i think i really need some more
Cause i like the sounds of my feet hitting the ground

Everybody gets so wrapped around the variables
But i was never very good at math at all
Everybody gets so wrapped around them and i guess that i would too
I'm not in the mood

Gimme gimme everything this dreadful life has got to adore
They said i had enough but now i think i really need some more
Gimme gimme everything this dreadful life has got to adore
They said i had enough but now i think i really need some more
Gimme gimme everything this dreadful life has got to adore
They said i had enough but now i think i really need some more
Cause i like the sound of my feet hitting the ground
I like that sound
