lyrics

I had a dream: Bob Dylan had past away
There was Bono, and Willie Nelson, putting flowers on his grave
And later on, in Santa Fe, I saw an actor dancing the night away
Not one single camera, just a smile on his face

And it's like Papa always said:
Life's a funny raccoon

Did you know that life's a Jackson Pollock?
Did you see all the oceans painted red?
It's enough to believe in the tragic mockery
But so much fucking better if you feel it instead

And it's like Papa always said:
Life's a funny raccoon

Mama said I couldn't sing when I was younger
Mama said "You better learn to tie your shoes"
And it's true we won't learn to love one another
'Til we find the root of our anger and our truths

And It's like Papa always said:
Life's a funny raccoon
