Hit that snare drum
And I try to do the sum
That will add up to the whole of my life
Am I just a house and a wife
To some man I don't yet know
Or is there a reason that I just go
To the farthest corners of the earth
To find a way out of the hurt
The distant hum of the fan
I want to stop it if I can
So I meditate and it doesn't work
I run and I just sweat my shirt
And I listen to Eckhart Tolle
It switches into something whole
And cascades like the perfect song
Beating the movement where you went wrong
And I'm listening to my own misery biz
I used to be the shizz
Now I'm just old and normal
Saw you in a suit so formal
Looking like you pay the rent
I wonder where the vagabond went
That crashed into my life like a storm
And he's the fire that keeps the heat warm
I wish you could know
That I would never let you go
Only let the line go slack
And wait until you call me back
And you always do
I walk another's shoe
Til the soles are worn and dry
I dunno I had to try
And be the one to satisfy
The longing that reaches out
It quenches thirst to match my doubt
Like that castle in the sky
I meet in dreams that die
Into a morning that just breaks
And the girl, like the ocean, wakes
