In a Musical Way

I want a life as bright as these chords I play

I want to live my life in a musical way--

Birds singing, a milkman whistling, a fat happy maid

Pancake-flipping oh yeah

I go to work against reality

Battling the world with my bare feelings

My heart never leads me astray

Just as long as I continue singing

I'm playing the part of an underachiever

In an out of town run that goes on forever

You could be the disaffected lover

Whose heart swells on an orchestra cue

Dancing our way past the fear

That anything wonderful's not real

Harmonizing on a melody

That worms its way into your dreams

Spotlights, pink tights, alcoholics

Costume, scenery, nervous breakdowns 

We're switching scenes like hand puppets

Up until the curtain comes down
