Open eyes to bright sunshine
This feels like the first day
Can't imagine what went before
Like a scene from an Ibsen play
The thought of you a lightning bolt
The kind that hits you twice
You are the catalyst demure
Sin pays a heavy price
I'm singing a new song
Euphoric and free
I can see the changes in you
Come see the changes in me
I sniped at the words you used
I was jealous of your look
A vision from a catwalk
A princess from a Tolstoy book
I've put these days behind me
The truth has been my guide
Your heart lighting up the way
Elegance personified
I need you more than you can see
So never forget
It's the changes in you
That caused the changes in me
Behold my new tune
Call it destiny
I bless the changes in you
Come bless the changes in me

Us humans think we're so damn smart
And totally in control of things
Then a meteorite screams down from outer space
We're just puppets on a string
We certainly aren't the ones writing the script
In a flash we could all disappear
And become extinct like the dinosaurs did
Forever our greatest fear
So make sure you tell your dear little sweetie
That you love her a bunch every day
Life is like a game of Russian Roulette
Could end like a Ibsen play
Meteorites, asteroids, or volcanic eruptions
Any one could end our P-Soup
Happily it won't matter if our bills aren't paid
No one left to give a poop!
