Take the Long Way Home Lyrics

[Break]
May I have your attention please?
May I have your attention please?

[Verse 2]
All born equal unless you're Canadian
Then halfway through decay like Uranium
You define what's death-defying
Get the most out of life or at the least die trying
Are you Evil Knievel jumping a train?
Or running with scissors like Frasier Crane?
Have really good times doing really bad things
Cause the show ain't over 'til the fat lady sings
Like Elton John with his candle in the wind
It's hard to blow out a flame as big as him
But we've all got to Wang Chung with the Grim Reaper
Whether you're Einstein whether you're Beaker
Death is certain so it's definitely worth flirtin'

Don't expect a bright light no just curtains
Life is like a penis most people don't know it
But most people suck so they usually blow it


[Chorus]
Life is an aimless drive that ya take alone
Might as well enjoy the ride take the long way home
[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Life is an aimless drive that ya take alone
Might as well enjoy the ride take the long way home

[Outro]
That's enough!
I said that's enough!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
