Escalators

If i lay down

On an escalator

Would you step on me

Just a rug

Tired of hugs and relaxation

I've given up

On my autobiography

Cold coffee and a pillow

Days that feel slow

Are enough for me

If i gave in

To the corporate tactics

Would you say that i

Jeopardized

All that i once believed in

Has come untied

Teddy roosevelt - "i cannot speak softy"

Cold coffee and a pillow

Days that feel slow

Are enough for me

Do you ever think about the future

What holds those invisible sutures together

Is the doctor in

Whatever happened to spontaneity

It’s my deity

And i’m in charge of me

Let’s see how far we can walk with our eyes closed

Each step raises the bar of uncertainty

But fortunately

Our feet are wheels that ride the maze

That is my life, my hours, my days

That is my life, my hours, my days

Let’s take the escalator up

We've been living in a cup that's china-made

I drank the kool aid

I paid too much for

And more is just a bore

Of plastic happiness

Let’s get rid of the rest of this

Twist yourself to hear the truth

Your laundry list is so uncouth

Of things been checked off

Forgotten or left off

And all the lights you never turned off

And i’m the man who pays

That is my life, my hours, my days

That is my life, my hours, my days

If i, if i, if i, if i, if i, if i lay down

If i, if i, if i, if i, if i, if i lay down

Would you pick me up

Would you pick me up or

Would you step on me

We're out of toilet paper again

All this talk about the end is eating me up

Would you please shut up

We've had enough

Of the apocalypse

And its making me sick and i cannot predict

The ending of my favorite show

Or was it a book in slow motion

Like captain cook on the indian ocean

Eaten alive and great history lies in you and i

And i think that's ok

That is my life, my hours, my days

That is my life, my hours, my days

That is my life, my hours, my days
