lyrics

Puppies are nature's rainbows
And kittens are gifts from evolution
And otters with dripping whiskers
Can calm your heart, please your brain
Why not dream through the pain?

When you are barfing and groaning and sore,
Just think of things that you adore
It might not make you feel better, but it could,
So dream of blithe contrivances galore
Cute fuzzy creatures and visions of love,
A placid lake, or roaring waterfall,
That which is calm or exciting and fun
Can soothe you when you're in illness's thrall

'Cause puppies are nature's rainbows
And kittens are gifts from evolution
And otters with dripping whiskers
Can calm your heart, please your brain
Why not dream through the pain?

Popsicle sunsets precede lollipop moons
And cotton candy clouds that taste so fine
There is so much celestial crap
That you can cram with sugar in your mind
But I suppose if nausea's your curse,
These images won't seem so sweet
Let's turn our focus to other glad thoughts
With positivity we can't be beat

What's that you say?
My advice is null,
'Cause phantom jackhammers
Keep pounding your skull,
That my platitudes
Incite rage and not hope,
This isn't helping you to cope,

But puppies are nature's rainbows
And kittens are gifts from evolution
And otters with dripping whiskers
Can calm your heart, please your brain
Why not dream through the pain?
