An Expletive or Two
No you're not the poster boy
for the school of rigid thinking
go ahead and change your dinner plans
and call it a beginning
why eat the same old garbage
if your stomach's sick
you might as well have nothing
it's not filling but it's quick
an expletive or two'll do ya
when you find there's nothing to ya
funny how you never knew
just then, you know, it really threw ya
your friends have all come over
they're tracking up the kitchen floor
you're upstairs for half an hour
talking to the bathroom door
anything that's happening
you turn into a chore
all your friends were waiting
they're not waiting anymore
an expletive or two'll do ya
when the madness happens to ya
funny how we never knew
just then, you know, it really threw ya
|
you gave yourself an awful scare
looked inside, found nothing there
look again, it'll be the same
you don't even have a name
it happened exactly as you feared
just as you arranged it
now you're all alone and weird
and nothing could have changed it
you used to live from day to day
now it's minute to minute
once you stop entirely
there might be something in it
an expletive or two'll do ya
when you find there's nothing to ya
funny how you never knew
just then, you know, it really threw ya
no you're not the poster boy
for the school of rigid thinking
go ahead and change your dinner plans
and call it a beginning |
