Tangled In The Status Quo
Say It Again
me thinks we blink
and then, it's gone
excessive drink
to move us on
we've leaky glands and kitchen sinks
scrolling the phone to numb the think
conversations on the brink
no substance here, she smiles and winks
when trouble calls
we hear her speak
we put up walls
to block the heat
we trip and fall
on dirty feet
till it's exposed on TMZ
*
me thinks we shrink
to get along
we all lip sync
the same old song
round and round and round
we sink
naked and proud
in shades of pink
all shapes all kinds
will one day stink
as life declines
breaking the link
*
me thinks the ink
has all run dry
I can't conceive
the reasons why
it took so long for us to see
that we are more than black and white
one plus one plus one is three
here's one more chance to get it right
so take my hand and stand with me
be gentle not in that good night
*
me thinks
it's time to take us back
time to believe
we're back on track
more front porch swings
and chewing the fat
it's little things
mathing the math
nothing as important as these
a deep cleansing, a healing bath
till once again we're squeaky clean
living happy off the beaten path
