EASY LIFE (4.39)

my mind works like fireworks
when I pretend it's an easy life
close my eyes and drift away
Christmas every day in my easy life

I can do what I want
and I get what I want
and if it breaks, I get a new one
always more where that came from

if I need a check...I just write a check
it's such an easy life
wouldn't that be really nice!

         and every morning
         breakfast in bed if that's what I would like
         and every evening
         adjust the sunset 'til it looks just right

first thing that I'll do is move
I'll need lots of room for my easy life
seven beaches just for me
age gracefully in my easy life

I'll give away my good junk...burn the rest
surround myself with luxury...best of the best
(I'll say) look at that design!
look at that workmanship!
swell paint job, isn't it?
swell paint job, isn't it?

         and every morning
         breakfast in bed if that's what I would like
         and every evening
         adjust the sunset 'til it looks just right

         anything I want...just ask
         everything has taste and class
         everything's in harmony
         perfect, rhyming...feeling truly holy

         and every morning
         dinner in bed if I stayed out all night
         and every evening
         adjust the moonlight 'til it looks just right

         anything I want...just ask
         everything has taste and class
         everything that's late shows up
         perfect timing...always count on my good luck

what did I do to deserve this?
what did I do to deserve such an easy life?
