Its just one of those days in one of those lives, you know
Where the paint is chipping and the plants won’t grow
As a matter of fact they’re looking dull and brittle
And Selsda’s still waiting for her jimmy riddle, oh
But then I looked out far and there were more than just
stars
Oh, oh
Aurora came to visit me today
She said, “Nikki come a little closer
There’s something I’ve got to say”… oh
Grew up in one of those Christian homes, you know
Where God is grand and Jesus is my bro
See, I’m cool with that to an extent
I’ll keep my mouth shut if it pays the rent
I’m as atheist as can be
That doesn’t tell you much about me
Or that I hate to take but I love givin;
But I’m tired of this goddam livin’
Did you get the pun?
Life hit me all over again in the sky after the sun…
In the sky after the sun
And she said…
“Nikki, I’m beautiful
its not just the pretty colors and the glitter on my arms
I’m free, I change, I dance, I wave
Undulating through life; I take it how it comes
I can fade, I glide, cover the sky
Disappear, return, and that’s the beauty
Living here is just my duty…
Till I die
So Aurora came to visit me today
She grabbed me by the hand threw me
Into the stars and felt the beauty
Aurora came to visit me today
She said, “Nikki, come a little closer
Come on out and play”…
