lyrics

Policemen got cell phones, and they all text at red lights
While I ride my skateboard on sidewalks, but only at night
And Destiny's just a girl who sits at the bar
She hips hard on something and says to the silver screen star

Sometimes life's such a thrill
What I got, I got still
Never went, never will
Never wanted to till
Someone gave me a smoke
Said he'd tell me a joke
And so softly he spoke
Swore it's true, how I hope

And Paradise is just a boulevard, it's down the block
My grandfather lives there and his doors are always unlocked
He ain't sentimental, so baby, see why I was shocked
When he went to the attic and brought down and old-fashioned clock
And he said

Sometimes life's such a thrill
What I got, I got still
Never went, never will
Never wanted to till
Someone gave me a smoke
Said he'd tell me a joke
And so softly he spoke
Swore it's true, how I hope

Outside the courthouse, the preachers all gather at dawn
To swap out their sermons and stuff to spray on their lawns
And inside the graveyard, the greasers are still standing guard
Till the preacher says, Baby, smile, it ain't all that hard
To see that

Sometimes life's such a thrill
What I got, I got still
Never went, never will
Never wanted to till
Someone gave me a smoke
Said he'd tell me a joke
And so softly he spoke
Swore it's true, how I hope
