  • Once upon a time, mom and dad felt fine
    Thought it was time for a birth
    Ever since then the trouble never ends
    But it's a good night on earth

    Getting up and going is a sweet lament
    Doing what you gotta do is all you got
    Gather up the things and run to the void
    Remember what you been taught
    Soak it all in like tonic and gin
    Everything for what it's worth
    Is relative, but look, my friend
    It's a good night on earth

    Once upon a time, I was feeling fine
    And you know that time is now
    Nothing gonna wreck it, you know I can't deflect it
    I always do so now
    Everyone's a critic, I can't stand Eels
    So says Colin Firth
    Rain on my parade, then the clouds fade
    It's a good night on earth Writer/s: John Parish, Mark Oliver Everett
