Here's To Life
Streetlight Manifesto

How did Cameron really die that night?

Were they right when he died, was it really his time?

Or was it suicide?

And Holden Caufield is a friend of mine

We go drinking from time to time

And I find, it gets harder every time


Back off

But you're out on the street again

Don't you stop

Did you know you couldn't swim?

Back off

Until you're out on the street again

I'm not going to play if there ain't no way I'll win


Hemingway never seemed to mind the banalities of a normal life

And I find, it gets harder every time

So he aimed a shotgun into the blue

Placed his face in between the two and sighed

Here's to life


Back off

But you're out on the street again

Don't you stop

Did you know you couldn't swim?

Back off

Until you're out on the street again

I'm not going to play if there ain't no way I'll win


Hey there Salinger, what did you do?

Just when the world was looking at you

To write anything that meant anything

You told us you were through

And it's been years since you passed away

But I see no plaque, and I see no grave

And I can't help believing you wanted it that way


Vincent Van Gogh, why do you weep?

You were on your way to heaven but the road was steep

And who was there to break your fall?

We're guilty, one and all

And I don't know much, but I do know this

With a golden heart comes a rebel fist

And I can't help agreeing with those that would not quit


And it makes me sick when I think of it

All my heroes could not live with this

And I hope you rest in peace because with us you never did

And K. D. C. You were much too young

And you changed my life

But I draw the line at suicide

Here's to life
