L U N A T A L K with Eva Moon

My Perfect Life… And Other Delusions

June 4, 2007 on 7:35 am | In Backstage Pass, General Musing, Music |

We did our new show, My Perfect Life… And Other Delusions Saturday night for a decent crowd at Mr. Spot’s Chai House in Seattle. It’s only the second time we’ve done the show and it’s still definitely evolving. We trotted out two new songs, including Brazilian Wax (and what do you know? The authorities didn’t haul us off the stage.)

What is it? Here’s the ad blurb: It’s jazz & funk & stand-up comedy. It’s party time & girls’ night out. It’s true confessions & dirty lies. It’s the hilarious new musical show you won’t want to miss!

It’s a collaboration between Eva Moon & the Lunatics and stand-up comics JeanAnn O’Brien and Robin Fairbanks of the Ha Ha Sisterhood. I’ll be sharing bits and pieces here as we go along, starting with our other new song, a rousing, gospelly closer performed for the first time Saturday.

Sisters and brothers! Are you spending your life counting calories, working for the man, practicing will power? Well, I’m here to tell you there ain’t no need to stand on the sidelines while life’s glorious pageant passes you by. I was once like you - striving to be righteous. Was I happy? No! Was I satisfied? No! Was I irritating the hell out of my friends? Yes! But I gave up my virtuous ways. Yes, sisters and brothers, I once was found and now I’m lost. And Life. Is. Perfect!

I used to work all the time to try to make a dime.
Always on the run ’til discovered fun.
I knew right then I had a choice: Sing the blues or go rejoice?
Let’s have a party. Make a date. Let’s go out and celebrate

Don’t you worry. Don’t you fight. Life is perfect. Life is right.
Life is perfect. Life is right ’cause I finally saw the light.

I used to diet night and day. No more heavenly buffet
To wear a mini skirt. Then I found dessert
Gimme chocolate. Gimme pie with whipped cream to the sky
Saving room to include angel cake and devil’s food.

Don’t you worry. Don’t you fight. Life is perfect. Life is right.
Life is perfect. Life is right ’cause I finally saw the light.

Used to walk the sober path. Drink would lead to righteous wrath.
Shut my ears to Satan’s call. But then I tasted alcohol
Gimme booze. Gimme wine. Gimme the sweet fruit of the vine
Pass the bottle. Fill the cup. Life is short. Let’s live it up!

Don’t you worry. Don’t you fight. Life is perfect. Life is right.
Life is perfect. Life is right ’cause I finally saw the light.

I used to be so refined, holy thoughts were on my mind.
The kind of girl a guy respects. Then I discovered sex.
Oh Lord, I won’t be denied. I have a fire deep inside.
Hear me shout Amen. Oh Jesus, here I come again.

Don’t you worry. Don’t you fight. Life is perfect. Life is right.
Life is perfect. Life is right ’cause I finally saw the light.
