DROWSY STARE

(A wake up song)

You smiled at me….so sweetly
You thought I didn’t see
Melancholy moment
The cost of being free

Re-sign my lease you say
You slipped it in my door today
Due one month ago
I’ll sign it anyway

Stomp your feet and dance around
Joyful noise….rocking sound
Eclectic Bron Yr Aur
England’s royal sound

Castles made of gilded ego
The IRS man wants to know
“Is it legal servant?”
“So much cash to blow”

You snort it up your nose
While ripping off your clothes
Heartbeat a blazing
Soon….heaven knows

Weary from the treadmill
False frontal goodwill
To win no longer interests me
Nor fiat dollar bills

Come join me if you dare
Learn how to care
Sincerely give a damn
Forsake the drowsy stare
