How Many Six Packs Does It Take to Screw in a Light

I never had a lot to bring to the party
 But a self-importance far beyond vanity
 And a manic depression that just wouldn't go away
 Like Peckinpah with a bouquet of poison ivy
 How many six packs does it take to screw in a light?
 Sometimes, it's good to be alive, baby, sometimes it's alright
 Nothing like a little vacation once in awhile
 At the Cable Car Hotel, San Francisco style
 For three nights and three days
 Jesus hung on a boom box while it played
 Every single song ever sung by Billie Holiday
 How many six packs does it take to screw in a light?
 It's good to be alive, baby, sometimes it's alright
 Afterwards, I'm on California Street looking at the sky
 The sun is going down pouring salt into my eyes
 Like he said, when the lights go out, so does fear
 And you only see beauty as it begins to disappear
 How many six packs does it take to screw in a light?
 It's good to be alive, baby, sometimes it's alright
 How many six packs does it take to screw in a light?
 It's good to be alive, baby, sometimes it's alright
