Life is Dope
By Songwriter X & the Skeleton Band

I had the woman cast my horoscope 
She looked at me in a peculiar way
She said, “Look me lad, don’t be glad, don’t be sad…
Life is dope!”

“We all got to make our way through life.”
She said to me as she closed her eyes,
“The best that you can, 
There’s really no plan…
Life is dope!”

You will have a lover!
A very mysterious lover,
She will tear your heart apart and more…
oh, much more.

She will bring you pleasure,
She will bring you lots of treasure,
But then you will lose her.
I don’t know, if you can go.
If you can go!

You gotta be strong.


(interlude)


All this happened some time ago.
And my lover never came to pass.
“Look at me lad, be not glad, don’t be sad…
Life is dope!”

She said, “You’d have a lover!
A very mysterious lover,
She will tear your heart apart and more…
oh, much more.

She will bring you pleasure,
She will bring you lots of treasure,
And then you will lose her.
No she don’t know, if I can go.
Well life is dope!

What does it matter?
What does it matter?
Life is dope!

PLAY IT LOUD!
PLAY IT LOUD!
As for the crowd.
Show ‘em how it’s done.
How it’s done.
How it is done.

Really has no plan, ‘cause LIFE IS DOPE!

Then I had a lover!
A very lovely lover.
And she tore my heart apart, oh she did.
She tore my heart.

And she brought me pleasure.
She brought me so much treasure.
And I did lose her;
I don’t know. If I could go. If I could go.

Well, life is dope...
