An Unconventional Life
Music by Andrew Potter
Lyrics by Wheeler Cole
© 2020 cole/potter music

Had a friend a juggling magician
one more, an eclectic musician 
They were always spending time
coloring outside of the lines.

Spooky clowns met in many places
made up with, tattoos on their faces
Spending time practicing mime
and coloring outside of the lines

A butterfly, no icon is sweeter
Tattooed on the head, Of a fire eater
Always the plan of the Butterfly Man
as he scribbled outside the lines ...

I sure do miss my old pal Hokum
Tickled the ivories; Man, he could smoke ’em
Playing the muffler, he sounded divine
as he colored outside the lines

Can you … see how … life is magically strange?
seek to … somehow … become a little bit deranged 
It’s rife with unneeded strife so choose an unconventional life

the clock is ticking, time it never tarries
what will you do, Who you will marry
A crazy love who you finds
colors outside of the lines

live life existentially informal
why work at trying to be normal?
choose friends who have like minds
in coloring outside of the lines

Can you … see how … life is magically strange?
seek to … somehow … become a little bit deranged 
It’s rife with unneeded strife so choose an unconventional life
