Singing To Myself
your hot cold fever
cool cool sweat
in a hip way
runs up in my mind
slipping, sliding
like sideways confusion
a heady trip
listening to Buck Owens
act naturally
an alright groove
but hard for me
a fat man in the bathtub
moaning the blues
a solid rhythm
rising above
giving up
begging
brought down
over you
being over me
a sad sad production
so hard to see
your peculiar ways
running
stomping
slapping my sanity
cuckoo
time after time
can't put it off
my tears
tick-tock
tick-tock
tick-tock
the time has come
tick-tock
tick-tock
but the way you
flip your hip
makes me weak
like a fat man
in the bathtub
moaning the blues
