The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

The nickel dropped when I was on

My way beyond the rubicon

What did I do?

And the games that I could handle

None are ones worth a candle

What should I do?

I'm a frightened, fickle person

Fighting, cryin', kickin', cursin'

What should I do?

Ooh, after all the folderol

And hauling over coals stops

What will I do?

Can't take a good day without a bad one

Don't feel just to smile until I had one

Where did I learn?

I make a fuss about a little thing

The rhyme is losing to the riddling

Where's the turn?

I don't want a home I'd ruin that

Home is where my habits have a habitat

Why give it term?

Ooh, after all the folderol

And hauling over coals stops

What did I learn?

I am likely to miss the main event

If I stop to cry and complain again

So I will keep a deliberate pace

Let the damn breeze dry my face

Oh mister wait until you see

What I'm gonna be

I've got a plan, a demand and it just began

And if you're right, you'll agree

Here it's coming a better version of me

Here it comes a better version of me

Here it comes a better version of me
