Business as Usual

it was business as usual
perfectly normal and beautiful
pretty much natural I think I can say
so why not say it?

the dogs were barking in unison
wagging tails and toothy grins
every day is so wonderful
when you're howling at the sky
it's just what the doctor ordered

business as usual
business as usual
just incredible
a feast for the eyes
saying yes to the ineffable
most distinguished euphorical
it was business as usual
the business of happiness
step right up and walk on in
save your misery for the morning editions...

no fear, no sense of urgency
no cost, it happens to be free
we can dance with a host of cliches
and impress the judges

we can walk like musketeers
one for all and you for me my dear
perhaps tap dancing on the moon
is what the doctor ordered

business as usual
business as usual
just incredible
a feast for the eyes
saying yes to the ineffable
most distinguished euphorical
it was business as usual
the business of happiness
step right up and walk on in
save your misery for the morning editions...

happiness is a polarity
with the highs are clarity
and the lows are mostly medicated
feeling kind of sedated

elation must be celebrated
jubilation venerated
existence is vindicated
if only for a short while...

lights
camera
action
the moon is full on empty nights
ah, the actress
ah, the actor
let us dance like maniacs

it was business as usual
perfectly normal and beautiful
pretty much natural I think I can say
so why not say it?

the dogs were barking in unison
wagging tails and toothy grins
every day is so wonderful
when you're howling at the sky
it's just what the doctor ordered

business as usual
business as usual
just incredible
a feast for the eyes
saying yes to the ineffable
most distinguished euphorical
it was business as usual
the business of happiness
step right up and walk on in
save your misery for the morning editions...
