On a timeless beach in Hispanola
Young girl sips a diet cola
She?s worlds apart
Worlds apart 


The sprit of the black king still
Reverberates through Haitian hills
He rules the sea and all the fish
What if he had a T.V. dish


Chorus
   

Be good and you will be lonesome
Be lonesome and you will be free
Live a lie and you'll live to regret it
That's what living is to me
That's what living is to me


  Em                     Bm
In the far off regions the foreign legions

           G                          A
Keep the thieves and the predators at bay

    Em                        Bm
While closer to home, some bad boys still roam

      G                                      A
The streets aren't safe, so give it one more day

A        G    G Em G A         
One more day


The stories from my favorite books
Still take on many different looks
And now I?m gone
Home again


The time has come the Walrus said
And little oysters hide their heads
My Twain of thought is loosely bound
I guess it?s time to Mark this down


Chorus
   

Be good and you will be lonesome
Be lonesome and you will be free
Live a lie and you'll live to regret it
That's what living is to me
That's what living is to me

That's what living is to me
That's what living is to me
