what a beautiful day

i'm high on life.
i'm driving to work
my eyes half closed
half open

carried by a current of smog
i see a clear sky in front of me
my rear view mirror disagrees
black clouds follow me

today,
but yesterday too
and the day before
or every day?

i'm one step ahead
but still
darkness is always behind
closing in

in a race i'm going to lose

dizzy mizz lizzy sings
on the radio
"love is a losers game my friend
til the very end"

i'm high on life
i'm driving to work
