lyrics

Spiders weaving webs 
All across the yard
 I can see them glisten 
While the sun retreats 
Over the hill
Cars full of people
 With holes to fill
 Make their way 
To the same old ending Of a different day
 And I wonder if they wonder
 About going on this way 
What a life what a life they say
Counting all the train cars 
Just to make a game
Can there really be  
That many Hours in a day 
To waste away 
Recalling baseball stats
From when I was a kid
As if studying averages 
Was the only thing I did 
I wonder if I'll ever need Those numbers again
 What a life what a life they say 
If we only measure goodness
 Up to the goodness that we see 
Who's gonna kick it off 
Could it possibly be me 
That possibility has got me
Climbing up a tree 
Maybe all this Aint Such a waste of time
 Counting cars and spider webs 
And drinking all this wine
I wonder if my wondering
Gets me anywhere tonight 
What a life what a life they say 
Night finally comes
 And the shadows on the lawn
 Take the shape of giants 
Fighting just for fun
 And the rain begins to fall 
I can taste the earth 
Hovering in the air
 For a moment I'm a child 
Outside the house where I grew up 
And I wonder the number Of times 
that taste has crossed my tongue 
What a life what a life they say 
Now I can hear an ambulance 
Screaming  down the highway 
I hope that someone
Still has a life then I
Go on  living mine 
but for a moment 
i can feel the pain 
 Of somebody getting a phone call
 "sir she  skid out in the rain"
And I wonder how somebody
Goes on living that way 
What a life what a life they say 
Surprises don't come easy 
And other times they do 
Routine can mean stability 
Or it can be the death of you 
It's midnight now 
There aint nothing else to do 
but to hope that all this
wasn't such a waste of time
 Counting cars and spider webs
And drinking all this wine
 And I wonder if my wondering 
Got me anywhere tonight
 What a life what a life they say
