Do be do be do(The Kurt Vonnegut Song) - Original - Chimelir

This song didn't start out as a song related to Kurt Vonnegut, but rather claustrophobia from a trip to a mall. While I was walking home a melody and the first verse came to me, and when I got home somehow I remembered that quote from Deadeye Dick. I thought I would preface the song in case it seemed a little presumptuous of me to call this the Kurt Vonnegut Song. I can't really call it a tribute to his memory, because when it was written he was still alive. I hope you enjoy it.


It feels like this mall
is getting pretty small
Doors are looming, lights are blooming,
Blinding me
Thoughts are circling my head,
reminding me that soon we'll all be dead
So you better make the most
of what you've got left

To do is to be, is what it meant to me
To be another hollow shell as seen on TV
To be is to do, as Mother Nature tells you
if you're a rose then you're a rose -
that's just how it goes...

Do be do be do, the clouds will tell the truth, do be do be do,
They shapes they make, the dreams they break,
Do be do be do

And so I've thought it through,
though that is nothing new,
Hesitant decisions are my specialty.
I've live this life the best,
put fortune to the test,
Dream by day and sing by night
spreading love with bearlike might,
Or maybe I'll just hide,
in an innocuous dimension,
living just breathe, hoping soon to die.
