Puddle sky on the curb
Blue in a dirty spoon
A stray cat on the fence
Blinks like it knows the moon
Ice cream on my wrist
Dripping down too fast
I try to catch the edge
But it slips right past
Everything looks sweet
Everything looks bright
Sun on the sidewalk
Stretching out the light
But the day turns slowly
Just enough to sting
Like a sky so blue
It forgets everything
Everything is wonderful
Everything is fine
Everything is wonderful
Until the ice cream dies
But the day turns slowly
Just enough to sting
Like a pretty picture
That doesn't owe me anything
Whiskers on the cat
Little silver wires
Tail flicks once and gone
Like a spark in fire
I watch the puddles hold
Pieces of the trees
Then a cloud moves over
And they all look mean to me
Everything looks sweet
Everything looks bright
Sun on the sidewalk
Stretching out the light
But the day turns slowly
Just enough to sting
Like a pretty picture
That doesn't owe me anything
Everything is wonderful
Everything is fine
Everything is wonderful
Until the ice cream dies
Everything is wonderful
Everything is fine
The sky keeps going blue
And my life is letting go
One more lick one more lie
One more second I can't buy
One more lick —the sugar stings
One more breath —the air grows thin
One more second held before
The melt begins
The cat knows something I don't know
I watch the raindrop tremble
When a fallen leaf sinks low
I watch the clouds rearrange themselves
Like they've got somewhere to go
Sweet things don't warn you in advance
Everything was always meant to go
Everything is wonderful
Everything is fine
Everything is wonderful
The taste won’t stay in line
Everything is wonderful
Everything is fine
The sunlight keeps on moving
And I’m—
