lyrics

Safe on the lifeboat.
No brown blouse blues.
Sink in your seat, slip off your brown shoes.
A gin and tonic.
What have you got to lose?
At the chamber of commerce
on South Main,
my fly was down and I felt the same.
You’re through the ceiling, I’m in the rain.
What do you say?
There’s got to be a middle seat to spare.
I don’t breath much air,
I’ll just watch the clouds
blow by past my window.
And down below there’s lipstick
and a dozen snotty kids.
Just exactly what they did I don’t want –
I don’t care to know.
Fluorescent lightmare.
A paper jam.
My sloppy boss, all he says is spam.
A parking lot is who I am.
Wipe up the white board –
you’re free to go.
Ten after one, a pizza and a tangelo.
You’re wearing that sundress:
the one that glows.
What do you say?
There’s got to be a middle seat to spare.
I don’t breath much air,
I’ll just watch the clouds blow by out my window.
And down below there’s lipstick
and a dozen snotty kids.
Just exactly what they did I don’t want –
I don’t care to know.
They’re just like me – they’re too much like me
and I gotta put up with myself every day.
Whatever I need is something farther away.
Safe on the lifeboat.
No brown blouse blues.
Sink in your seats, slip off your brown shoes.
Vodka and tonic.
Whatcha got to lose?
