When she left this world I fixed my problems,
By making music, by drinking Yazoo.
But now there’s nothing that I can consume.
Now there’s nothing that I can do.
Others seem to know me better than I know myself.
My life is now dictated by numbers on various scales.
Asking “between 1 and 10, how do you feel today?”
“You know there’s some red on that label, that’s too much sugar intake”.
Life hasn’t been fine,
Since it was okay,
To drink Strawberry Milk,
Everyday.
This ain’t Snickers, I’m not me when I’m depressed,
Most avoid me at my worst as well as at my best.
But I guess I’m here for now, so all must be alright,
My only real worry is running out of time.
Life hasn’t been fine,
Since it was okay,
To drink strawberry milk,
Every single day.
Life can only be fine,
If we stay young and free,
And drink strawberry milk,
Everyday.
