jukebox and a bar

they can make cars drive themselves

and prove time-travel ain't crazy as hell

they've even got a pill to make a soft package hard

but as far as we've came

when it comes to love and to blame

and the breaking of a loved heart

i think we're sorely lacking methods

so i'm going with old time-tested: a jukebox and a bar

one pushes me up the mountain

and one rolls me down the hill

while i sit in a phosphorescent dark

so you can keep your fancy potions

and your incandescent notions

as for me and my barely-beating heart

there's no better prescription

for my broken disposition

than a jukebox and a bar

we got pinpoint gps

all you need is an address

but her love is the one thing i can't find

meanwhile no one has a clue

how to make her memory turn loose

so much for academic minds

one pushes me up the mountain

and one rolls me down the hill

while i sit here in a phosphorescent dark

so you can keep your fancy potions

and your incandescent notions

as for me and my barely-beating heart

there's no better prescription

for my the human condition

than a jukebox and a bar

may look like music

booze

and beer

there's a whole more goin' on in here

than a jukebox and a bar
