Wednesday
It's suppository time again
Ain't it grand?
Friday
I get my leg back on again
I'll get to stand

'Cuz it's a cakewalk on easy street
It's a new kind of day
It's a good time
The best you ever had
It's the new-fangled way

Air-raid
Sirens in the night again
Not far away
I'm failing
At everything I try to win
But that's O.K.

'Cuz it's a cakewalk on easy street
It's a new kind of day
It's a cakewalk on easy street

I have nothing bad to say
'Cept all my friends have gone away
Half of me is plastic and wood
But at least I've got my arms - that's good

'Cuz it's a cake walk on easy street
It's a new kind of day
It's a good time
The best you ever had
It's the new-fangled way
It's a cakewalk on easy street

    General CommentI dont know what may it mean but it's a great song. It always cheers me up somehow. How can you not love the Beard?

    From what I can interpret with my non native english it's about a guy that returned from war. All his friends are gone, he's the only one who survived. Without legs, arms. Very much like Metallica's One but in prog and a very positive point of view.

    General CommentGreat song, but very cynic. But also absolutely pointless, it's almost a shame to wast a great song like this with such trivial lyrics. But in the end, the singer has to sing something, so there have to be some lyrics.
