My Work Day
I sit around, I stare in spaceI take a break, a torrid paceBack to work, I rub my eyesA workaholic in disguiseDiscipline's my middle nameTime to take a nap againMaybe one more cup of tea"All My Children" is on TVI'm thinking, I'm thinkingI'm thinking, I'm thinkingI'm thinking what I might want to sayWelcome to my work dayBack to work, my daily grindTripping through a cluttered mindPet the cat, clean the fridgeHow to write a perfect bridgeI'm thinking, I'm thinkingI'm thinking, I'm thinkingI'm thinking what I might want to sayWelcome to my work dayTime to use a different chordSongtexteBetter not go overboardKeep it simple, tight and terseFind my way back to the verseThere's the phone, not now, I'm blazingBrand new trails of navel-gazingHemingway was so inspiringLong time thinking, short time writingI'm thinking, I'm thinkingI'm thinking, I'm thinkingI'm thinking what I might want to sayWelcome to my work day Aus Songtexte Mania
