All That Before

I don't know if I'm cracking up or just getting careless...

is this room quite airless?

Just a minute - listen,

did you hear that knock on the door?

I'm going to have to write things down before I forget them.

I can't find my glasses, I don't know where I left them

so I can't expect to get much on the visionary score,

or did I say all that before?

Oh, stop me if you've heard this one before I get started.

I can't find my mobile and I didn't charge it,

it's a phantom target,

if I call myself I'll only get my Voicemail once more.

I wish that I could pin things down before they escaped me.

I can't find my car keys and it seems that lately

I have trouble even fitting them into the front door...

or did I say all that before?

Oh, stop me if I'm banging on trying to grab your attention.

I forget to mention I can't find my glasses

but I think I bent them when I dropped them

as I scrabbled for my phone on the floor.

It seems I can't, I can't remember,

I can't remember what I'm doing.

Although I flash that foolish grin

that seemed so winning when I came in

I'm beginning to see everyhting we've been

is going to be forgotten.

It's not a joke,

or did I say that all before I spoke?

It's not a joke,

or did I say all that before I spoke?

I can't find myself,

what I'm looking for,

and I've lost the thread

of what I said before.
