Laura Veirs Life Is Good Blues lyrics

Life is good when you dance all night
And the world transmits electric power
Messages you send to mars
Came from a crown of flowers

Have we danced away the hours?
Have you danced away the hours?

Life is good when the band is smokin' hot
The drummer drums 'cause it's the last chance that he got
Boats light up the river in a string of flame, life is good

When you know he feels the same thing
When you know he feels the same thing


Going soft like the dawn
And tender green like the shoots of spring
Unfurling on the lawn

Over dam, over dam
Over sea swell, over sea swell
And have her play devil's pawn

'Cause you know he'd do the same thing
Yeah, you know he'd do the same thing
