I see a man with a flag And he leads the procession And a woman shedding tears For a man locked in prison, yeah Then the two locked eyes And for a moment I was taken And all paths lead To a single conclusion, yeah Everything is good for you If it doesn't kill you Everything is good for you One man's ending Is another man's beginning Everything is good for you It's a nightmare talking To a restless ocean With a reckless calm To state their position But if you come undone It might just set you free Everything is good for you If it doesn't kill you Everything is good for you One man's ending Is another one's beginning Bring back your head Here comes trouble To turn me and be well Cover your heart Everything is good for you If it doesn't kill you Everything is good for you If it doesn't kill you Everything is good for you Is good for you
