lyrics

The world is falling away, like on a roller coaster
But the things that I can’t see too well today
Are still there in all clarity
And I guess they always will be

It’s half past nine o’clock in the afternoon
A man stuck in his office simply can’t refuse
To take his workhorse for a walk
And spend a filthy dollar to lose his thoughts

I’ve got a dormant muse who hasn’t got a name
But if she did it would be something like bupivacaine
So if you’re looking for profundity
You’d better listen to the Dean of Aberdeen

I’ve got a real bad case of sandpaper face
I didn’t have a shave this morning, nosirree
But it’s not as if you need to know
I’ve still got my 9 o’clock shadow
