Less Than the Air (By Dave Dondero) |
Train’s coming, gonna lay on the track |
Happy right here laying on my back |
Let the train wheel come and take my life |
Yeah, let the big steel make it all right |
Because I’ve got no friends to tell the trial |
Lots of enemies so quick to defile |
Suppose I’m drunk again but I don’t care |
All I know is we’re less than the air |
So let’s not compare |
Feelings sacrificed you, are you feeling slammed |
And are you claustrophobic on this open land |
Feeling crumpled up and dented in |
Are you trapped within your very own skin |
Well, it’s like a jail you can’t see the bars |
Can’t escape it by bleeding through your scars |
Self deprecation is a boring hand |
And you’re just bringing everybody down man |
Feeling sorry, are you feeling blue |
Are you down and out now and overdue |
Feeling smothered by the deep blue sky |
Does the sunset hurt your eye |
Oh well, you’re not the only one who got caught in the rain |
This whole world don’t revolve around your pain |
And you can go on, yeah, spin out in misery |
But I’ll take the sun and the sea |
And oh sham sham-a-ling-on |
And oh dipty dip |
My mental record starts to skip |
An orange, lemon, lime, and oh, a tangelo |
On the coconut tree next to the mighty mango |
Oh the high sea air, yeah, in my rear view mirror |
Ain’t it beauty, beautiful my lovely dear |
We got time so, so let’s not abuse |
Let’s wear holes in our shoes |
