How Many Six Packs Does It Take to Screw in a Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I never had a lot to bring to the party But a self-importance far beyond vanity And a manic depression that just wouldn't go away Like Peckinpah with a bouquet of poison ivy [Chorus] How many six packs does it take to screw in a light? Sometimes it's good to be alive, babe. Sometimes it's alright [Verse 2] Nothing like a little vacation once in a while At the Cable Car Hotel, San Francisco style For three nights and three days Jesus hung on a boom box while it played Every single song ever sung by Billie Holiday [Chorus] How many six packs does it take to screw in a light? Yeah, it's good to be alive, babe. Sometimes it's alright [Theremin Solo] [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Afterwards, I'm on California Street, looking at the sky The sun is going down, pouring salt into my eye Like you said, "when the lights go out, so does fear And you only see beauty as it begins to disappear." [Chorus] How many six packs does it take to screw in a light? It's good to be alive, babe. Sometimes it's alright How many six packs does it take to screw in a light? It's good to be alive, babe. Sometimes it's alright
