lyrics

I'm as positive as a sunny day
I want the best out of life in the worst way
But the fact of death is clinical
So it makes my views look cynical

Life is great, but we're going to die
That doesn't mean I'll sit around and cry
Without death we'd be incomplete
I'm the most optimistic pessimist you'll ever meet

Now, carpentry is a skill I have learned
Many tools of the trade, I have earned
One question I have, if I may ask it
How much money can I save if I make my own casket

Life is great, but we're going to die
That doesn't mean I'll sit around and cry
Without death we'd be incomplete
I'm the most optimistic pessimist you'll ever meet

I won't let life pass me by
I might not win, but I will try
No regrets, my eyes are dry
Still smile when the end is nigh

Life is great, but we're going to die
That doesn't mean I'll sit around and cry
Without death we'd be incomplete
I'm the most optimistic pessimist you'll ever meet

Life is great, but we're going to die
That doesn't mean I'll sit around and cry
Without death we'd be incomplete
I'm the most optimistic pessimist you'll ever meet
I'm the most optimistic pessimist you'll ever meet
I'm the most optimistic pessimist you'll ever meet
