Well, here it is, a 'Mental Vacation' just for me. Something a bit different and yet all the same. My sojourn forward as Saint Whatever. A touch of the past with a guaranteed future, whatever I want it to be. Enjoy and thanks to all that made this possible. More to come, count on it.
lyrics
I'm watching the program
And like, the programs watching me
Not asking much
I'm such a button up
Think I'll cut my hair...and
It might cut me
Not sure what expectation is
Or what they expect from me
And I just can't see
With the bar set high
Value so low
I told you so
Put a toe in the water
My mind's out to sea
It's a mental vacation
A trip for me
I try to read the room
It just reads me
I stand on line sometimes
It stands on me
Shoe to drop
History
Burdensome
Charges a fee
And I just can't see
With the bar set high
Value so low
And I told you so
Put a toe in the water
My mind's out to sea
It's a mental vacation
A trip for me
I was shown a life
Wrapped in ivy
Have I made it yet?
Or it's made me ?
Stay right here
Pass me by
Retirement
I'm doing just fine
I just can't see
The bar set high
Value so low
I told you so
Put a toe in the water
My mind's out to sea
It's a mental vacation
A trip for me
