Livable Lives

painting by Edward Hopper

Hop on your bike
I'll meet you at the ferry
What's not to like?
We haven't got a worry
Tired of chasing rainbows
Only finding rain
Up and down
High and low
Face to face
with pain

I want to be near you
I want to be here
I want to be near you
I want to be clear

I suspect
If we reject
what we're told to believe
ooh what a beautiful world
we'd all receive

I want to be near you
I want to be here
I want to be near you
I want to be clear

I've got a tin of tuna
and chrysanthemum tea
bring a mezzaluna
some mangoes and Brie

Ooh, living livable lives
Ooh, living livable lives

Ooh, living livable lives
Ooh, living livable lives

I want to be near you
I want to be here
I want to be near you
I want to be clear

It's a picnic at the ocean
with some bocce on the beach
away from the commotion
where the stars are all in reach

It's a picnic at the ocean
living livable lives

It's a picnic at the ocean
living livable lives

Living livable lives
