All My Base Are Belong To You

from Like Fries Love Ketchup by Manko

about

Three magic spells for decision-making: (1) what would you do if you knew you'd live forever? (2) what would you do if you knew it'd all be gone in a year? (3) who do you want to do it with?

lyrics

What would you do if you truly knew
A hundred years were promised you
And every seed you planted grew
And when you fell, you only flew
Pick up the phone, it's all good news
And if you danced, you'd dance right out of your shoes
If you knew you could do anything you choose
From loving me to kicking booze
If you truly knew you could not lose
What would you do?

It's incoherent but it's true
But all my base are belong to you
And all along I thought you knew
Now all my base are belong to you

I don't know much about the sea
Except it's much bigger than me
And flat and old and so salty
It must be full of tears like we were
When we couldn't find the key
Where we could hum in harmony
I don't know what your green eyes see
Or what they ever saw in me
But now I'm asking, if you're free
What would you be?

There isn't much I know is true
But all my base are belong to you
With every day it only grew
Now all my base are belong to you

What would you do if you truly knew
That in a year it'd all be through
No pain, no pulse, no me, no you
Just all you leave behind when a few
Dear friends throw flowers at the fu-
Neral and there's nothing you can do
But wave goodbye to all you knew
And make a memory or two
To hold at the end as you withdrew
What would you do?
