Lyrics:
Woke up, 11 AM,
In a place that's not my bed.
I guess this is the day that I would
try something new instead.
So I bought a book this morning, didn't read the back of it
Went to the store and got the expensive prophylactic.
The soothsayers tell me otherwise
Maybe someday or another time
Just not today, not right now
It's too late to change your lifestyle.
So give me a megaphone, or a mic
to say something you'll never know or like
Well-aware it's something absurd
But I just want to be heard.
Don't care to pay the bills.
I'm taking notes, names and pills.
Living on a couch, building a house
Of cards, I start to make amends
Till it rains again. Bored on Sunday
Faking death, sleeping in
Making my checklist thinner
And eating breakfast for dinner
I bought a computer and some headphones.
Watch the news, turn off my cellphone.
Reading thoughts with detox
and learning how to beatbox like
Taking out the trash for fun.
I figured the math was already done.
Ain't checked the stats till one.
I'm Thinking that I have to run
Or lift some weight.
Give or take.
Missed a day
With the pavement.
Hang out with friends.
Say now or ten
p.m. until it's louder than
the neighbor's dogs.
I'm made of brawns and steel.
Can you tell I've been working out?
I got too much time on my hands.
Bored on Sunday, certain now
Used a machine never seen before
Spoke to someone from years or more.
Dog's depressed, don't let it bring me down
He doesn't want to talk, so I sing out loud.
Clock's still ticking.
Amoxicillin
Just doesn't work
I lost ambition and I'm
Listening to French electro-pop
Sitting on a bench, I meant to stop and
Smell the flowers. Walk a little bit.
Back in the house to write some lyrics.
Bored on Sunday. Lord, I must say
Sure is mundane when you're away
From the house. What about
The windows? Indigo's the color
Of the clouds. It's
5 A.M. Why I am
awake. I'll never figure it out.
I begin to fall with a rubix cube
Demerol and some music too.
