lyrics

It's a good day, thank the powers that be
For what they've given me and you, my dear
Let's not delay, as Dionysus says
And enjoy the present while it's here
Could you stop tug, tugging my sleeve
And murmuring misgivings?
I know it's quite naive
The way I'm living

Whoa-oa-oh Cassandra
I don't care if you're right
Leave my dreams be tonight
Whoa-oa-oh Cassandra
You're sapping all my spirit
I don't want to hear it
Anymore

It's a good day for laying about
with the roustabouts and the ne'er-do-wells
No we can't pay to be pampered guests
We just make the best of the cheap motels
I take the time to return your calls
From the front desk phone
You say I should have four walls
Of my own

I'm pursuing a path of catastrophe
And you're the only advisor to disagree
All my other judges are absentee
Or turned into bystanders
If I gave more credence to your objections
And managed to make a course correction
I bet you'd still find imperfections
My greatest reprimander
Whoa-oa-oh..

It's a good day for new beginnings
There may be no winnings that I can hold
I'd rather play another thousand hands
Then make demands for what I'm owed
I can't say when we'll meet again
The future's much too blurry
I'll send a postcard now and then
So please don't worry

Whoa-oa-oh Cassandra
If the future's prearranged
You should've known I'd fight the change
Whoa-oa-oh Cassandra
You've got to tell me true
Do your visions show me and you
together?
