lyrics

Let me tell you what I'm gonna do,
Gonna teach something to you.
Something for the road ahead.
Don't you forget what I said to you, baby girl.
Baby girl.

Gonna go out in the world,
Fly away like Supergirl.
Set 'em straight like daddy would,
But one thing I understood,
You've got to make mistakes to win at life.
Make mistakes, win at life.

Want to play with the tallest toy?
Want to kiss the smartest boy?
Worried that you'll mess it up?
Matters not, I'll tell you what.
Got to make mistakes to win at life.

Made a plan, but it fell apart.
No one wants to buy your art (tell me about it)!
Never seems like you can win,
Kind of like the mice and men,
Got to make mistakes to win at life.
Make mistakes, win at life.

There you are.
It's so hard to go far.
There (you're a star)
You are (you're a star)
It's so hard (you're a star)
To go far. (you're star)

You are!

Long-form trance-y rhythmic jams, with a fun shambling edge, sounding like a cross between music from Africa's Sahel region crossed with a Tom Waits instrumental... Jascha Narveson
