Wine, women, and song: I tried them all
|
it did not take me long to figure I'd unlocked the door to happiness
|
I figured wrong (with a capital R)
|
All the baggage I brought wouldn't fit in a mid-size car
|
That's why I'm walking on eggshells down the via dolorosa
|
(hasn't got me any closer so far)
|
|
Shacked up with a poet -- no, it wasn't my department
|
Now I study the poetry of the studio apartment
|
Changing the cat box, baking the bread...
|
I shoulda been paying the bills instead of paying homage to an image
|
drawn from somebody else's head
|
|
Song, women, and wine:
|
You can't fool all the people all the time
|
But if you're trying, if you're looking, if you're lucky
|
You can always fool a few and feel fine
|
is the line between shame and dread:
|
One grips the lungs, one brains the head
|
But either one can crush you
|
Anyone can crush you
|
|
Once I dated an actor, she was working on a play;
|
by opening night we had nothing left to say to each other
|
It hit the wall, it was not resilient
|
She said that she was hungrier than I was brilliant
|
and who the hell was I to disagree?
|
|
Didn't you used to be someone who meant something to me?
|
Somebody who meant something to me?
|
Someone who meant something to me?
|
|
Wine, women, and song:
|
I tried them all it did not take me long
|
To figure I'd unlocked the door to happiness
|
I figured wrong.
