Doctor! i had a vision, left it somewhere way down and out of reach bad decision, now i nod my head and practice anyone's preach no instructions, i'm just a hundred pieces scattered on the ground leave it up to me, if i don’t come easy i won't stick around sir i’m sad to report you don’t know his worth either getting all caught up in rope or twirling around a lasso if i should generalize its quite the common lie but who am i to say more than what i'm paid for but doctor... is it wound up in the kalidoscopes i happen to i dream about why i carry a megaphone and microscopes every time i leave the house? well i know i know that you just can't make a turtle come out of his shell and i've been waiting patiently beside myself but that too hasn't helped sir I’m sad to report you don’t know his worth either getting all caught up in rope or twirling around a lasso if i should generalize its what we all live by but who am i to tell more than what i'm paid for in my opinion... maybe you need to do the opposite of whatever your doinG the whole will turn a lock if you think you only need one key you're the classic case you saw a gypsy spider crawling 'cross your rug creeping right along but you step on everything you are afraid of sir I’m sad to report you dont know his worth either getting all caught up in rope or twirling around a lasso if i should generalize its all we live by but we've got a number of pills for your tired out will…

this mo ment here just won't ever disappear so i'll fail my way through i'm an untied pair of shoes don't let it bother you i lost all beliefs to reality and barely fail for myself i'm not in charge of no one else they can fail for themselves outside indoors wherever i'm headed for success is a mountain peak higher than i can reach failings right in front of me i dont walk the walk its an big echo when i talk but no one seems to mind cause personality of any kind is a big old waste of time i play guitar so i won't get to far cause someone else's pen decided my dimensions and declared my independence if i fol low right i'll get anything i like though the deal sounds great a failure's only mistake is forgetting to concentrate and im not a robot i argue with my alarm clock but i'll fail just like a bee turn my thoughts into honey and sting for the queen we all are for peace over war we've been through this before when your in charge of the world thats an A+ failure so I just complain look for anyone to blame but nobody seems to know who put on the big failing show or hid the remote control im not myself but im trying hard as hell just to keep myself entertained with a pocketful of change mother tells me i should save

don't think that i'm full of myself these are honest words i speak i think you better find a quiet corner or a couch to sit and think but what you’re gonna come up with through your years of pondering ain’t never gonna add up to me what you gonna do when your should’ves and your could’ves catch up with you? i can be a gentlemen honey i know how to open a door i just think you got too many ideas of why i'm doing it for you can't take a man at face value if you can't look him in the eye knowing you, you'd give his chin a try what you gonna do when your should’ves and your could’ves catch up with you? put your tongue in boarding school do what you have to do cause you can't seem get your words to act the way you want them to i suppose i could even get used to reading index cards assuming your printings on par what you gonna do when your should’ves and your could’ves catch up with you? i know that just like every girl you got a responsibility but all i ask is that you tear me apart at a slower speed i mean please gosh i get myself caught on everything as it is haven’t you heard only fools rush in what you gonna do when your should’ves and your could’ves catch up with you?

sparrows play cards upon the rooftops with wings held in submission to white wine talk not strong enough to form a firm opinion but old lady night screams keep it down sending their worms back underground her conspirators talk in thrown out rocks ‘til the flock flees in formation creation gasps for air and fights off the rival statue builders who hide behind a stained glass sky weekly kicking down kneelers Our Wheezing Lady of the Night genuflects picks her teeth clean of stone sacraments while hymns and psalms lean tired on the walls like out of shape confirmations freudian slips and lost shopping lists fight for slim parking lot spaces outside a market where i'm selling chocolate and tolerable annoyances fourteen years ago hastily wrapped into a tightly knit memory of her weight on her hand on a tagged newsstand as we keep a camouflaged company splinters of sunshine pierce through the blinds and melt into the shag carpeting where just above if you look close enough you can catch the dust tangoing to her rumbling tuba announcement rap titled "old lady night's taking a nap" whatever dream she's mothering surely wake soundly in her lap far-sightedness makes it obvious how age weighs the decision to gather with dust wherever we must or to bear a head-on collision with the frail scarecrows standing guard over destiny ripe in our own backyard take a close look before the vine is shook and you’ve punched out your time card children beware, your youth is the only trick the old know how to play! their newest alum throw the biggest tantrum and through you alone rejuvenate threading her needle has now become as sinful as it always was burdensome but what other way could she mend their mistakes but your tug of war's tension
