Time To Think

when they ask me what i need i'll say a capo, a lemonade, a dollar fifty

a big bathtub, prosthetic feet, diana ross' role in mahogany

so i can hang out with billy dee williams, and he can hang out with me

pizza, love, and hominy, grits, peach pits, and songs to sing

more accountability so i can't get away with being mean

shooting stars, dungarees, band aids on both of my knees

a big old house high in the trees, a little shack down by the beach

a motor home with golden keys, an A+ in geography

and lots of time to think, i need more time to think

when they ask me what i've seen i'll say saturn and soliloquies

walden pond, hypocrisy, tetris, and insanity

debt and dope and apathy, ode to joy and pool parties

smooch and run and ancestry, arthur ashe and manatees

sailboats, necessity, lepidopterology

the cave of time, dignity, cirque du soleil and lethargy

surface area, rosaries, fair is fair and billie jean

vonnegut at the university, karmic retribution and bigotry

thyroglossal duct cysts, celibacy, love on the rocks, anonymity

osgood schlatter in my left knee, sad flute solos and decaf tea

silly friends, incontinency, yertle the turtle and hierarchy

do it for johnny, pepsilepsy, powder blue ten speeds and puberty

sylvia plath, conspiracies, bad medicine, karaoke

passing gas, irrelevancy, seize the day and let it be

loving dumb skaters who love pcp, dying and dancing on mtv

close calls and infinity, little kids who look up to me

it's the end of the world as we know it and we didn't start the fire and adam green

i need more time to think, don't you think?

i need more time to think

when they ask me what i need i'll say a capo, a lemonade, a dollar fifty
