Max, Jill Called - The Bicycle Thief

I woke up this morning

feeling pretty good

and pretty good is really good for me, now

had a cigarette, some coffee and some CNN

and the buses run down Sunset just for me

yeah the buses run down Sunset today for free

and the earth is round and the earth is flat

well I just don’t seem to care about that or a

perfect life, fortune and fame, a model wife

it don’t mean a thing, yeah

I know this and I know that

all of it don’t seem to matter that much

'cause it’s ashes to ashes and dust to dust

the rich and wise die the same as us, yeah

so many things

used to mean so much to me

but now I just can’t remember what they are

well, the telephone is ringing, but it’s not for me

gotta remember to write a note «Max, Jill called»

yeah I gotta learn to be considerate

and the earth is round and the earth is flat

well I just don’t seem to care about that or a

perfect life, fortune and fame, a model wife

it don’t mean a thing, yeah

I know this and I know that

all of it don’t seem to matter that much

'cause it’s ashes to ashes and dust to dust

and the rich and wise die the same as us, yeah

through the sham and horror and drudgery

well it is still a beautiful world

be careful and try your best to live happy

well that is what I read on a bathroom wall

yeah that is what it said on the bathroom wall

and the earth is round and the earth is flat

well I just don’t seem to care about that or a

perfect life, fortune and fame, a model wife

it don’t mean a thing, yeah

I know this and I know that

all of it don’t seem to matter that much

'cause it’s ashes to ashes and dust to dust

and something 'round here just never adds up, no no

oh no no

just never adds up, no

just never adds up (x3)
