Livin' La Vida Filka

She's into science fiction
But likes her music too
She's found a new vocation
Where she can merge the two

She's got a pen and paper
In-jokes for every line
Her guitar right beside her
This girl has lost her mind

She knows a follow up for
Every song she'll ever hear
Knows every verse of "Argo"
And she'll sing them without fear
Unless Leslie Fish is here

She'll sing, sing till she drops
She's living La Vida Filka
Take it from the top
She's living La Vida Filka
Belt those songs out loud
Although the tune's off-kilter
Someone make her stop
She's living La Vida Filka
Living La Vida Filka

Woke up inside the Con Suite
Felt like the Living Dead
She was gone but her songs still lingered
A conga line going in my head

Now I know my soul is lost
To more than Rock 'N' Roll
I've been bitten by the filking bug
And I've lost all control
It'll never let me go

I'll sing, sing till I drop
I'm living La Vida Filka
Take it from the top
I'm living La Vida Filka
Belt those songs out loud
Although the tune's off-kilter
Someone make me stop
I'm living La Vida Filka
Living La Vida Filka

Just a word from anyone's
Enough to strike the band
I'm stuck here on this filking trip
So join me if you can
Though the rhymes sometimes don't scan

So sing, sing till we drop
We're living La Vida Filka
Take it from the top
We're living La Vida Filka
Belt those songs out loud
Although the tune's off-kilter
Someone make us stop
We're living La Vida Filka
Living La Vida Filka
Living La Vida Filka
