ROUNDING UP MY LIFE TONIGHT

Hooked on hospitals with patient puppets
lifeboat world and wholesale sacrifices
ice cream vendors with unnecessarily high prices
curse at children when their backs are turned
who's in charge, who orchestrates?
dishes, plates, and silverware
wonder where match sticks don't light
please inform people I'm all right
I'm rummage-saling tomorrow
rounding up my life tonight

Vegas nightmares for the underdeveloped
bring back nothing, trade secret, pension planning
come forth to a mediocre, clock-work understanding
the time has come and gone and returned
buy chalk, sidewalk takes it in
as a thin artistic point of view
my only cue to see things in that light
as you let people know that I'm all right
cause I'm rummage-saling tomorrow
rounding up my life tonight
