I'm sipping Flor De Caa* and lime juice, it's three a.m.
Blow a fruit fly off the rim of my glass
The radio's playing Superchunk and the friends of Dean Martinez
Midnight it was bike tires whacking the pot holes
Milling humans' shivering energy glow
Fusing the space between them with bar-throb bass and laughter
If this were the last night of the world
What would I do?
What would I do that was different
Unless it was champagne with you?
I learned as a child not to trust in my body
I've carried that burden through my life
But there's a day when we all have to be pried loose
If this were the last night of the world
What would I do?
What would I do that was different
Unless it was champagne with you?
I've seen the flame of hope among the hopeless
And that was truly the biggest heartbreak of all
That was the straw that broke me open
If this were the last night of the world
What would I do?
What would I do that was different
Unless it was champagne with you? [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/bruce_cockburn/last_night_of_the_world.html ]
You want a good life? Chill - don't sweat the small stuff and enjoy life. You doing that? Good. Well, it's not enough. Deal with the issues in your life. You doing that? Good. Well, it's not enough. Care about and do something that's bigger than yourself. You doing that? Great! Oh yea, all the while, make sure you love and are being loved.
