Lock the Locks |
| I had a funny dream and I came to screaming |
| That I was in a funny house but it was kind of mine |
| And I was with you only it wasn’t you |
| It happened in the past but it was somehow now |
| It put it into focus, things became clear |
| I had to plan something I handed in my notice |
| Even though to most it looked random |
| My heart had left I was just going in tandem |
| (I smoked one too many cigarettes |
| I heard one too many lies |
| And I’ve gambled on too many bets |
| I lost it all too this life) |
| I’m packing up my desk I’ve put it into boxes (…To this life) |
| Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leave |
| I’ll leave one evening be seen off |
| At a party for my parting in a bar |
| It starts on the early side and ends in a gutter |
| With a fumble with a colleague in a car |
| No more alarm that barks in the dark |
| With the beeping like darts to the heart |
| Yes, the maze it does look deep |
| And days are over for dozing on my cheek |
| (I smoked one too many cigarettes |
| I heard one too many lies |
| And I’ve gambled on too many bets |
| I lost it all too this life) |
| I’m packing up my desk I’ve put it into boxes (…To this life) |
| Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leave |
| Read the funny card signed by all |
| That was purchased by the person I will always recall |
| Lock away my labors, steel stationary |
| A kiss on the lips or a grin in a grip |
| I had a funny dream and I came to screaming |
| That I was in a funny house but it was kind of mine |
| And I was with you only it wasn’t you |
| It happened in the past but it was somehow now |
| I came to it noon through the tune of a spoon |
| In a mug in a room, but I knew very soon |
| That the mug in the room, was the mug yours truly |
| Because I never stood up for what I wanted to do |
| (I smoked one too many cigarettes |
| I heard one too many lies |
| And I’ve gambled on too many bets |
| I lost it all too this life) |
| I’m packing up my desk I’ve put it into boxes (…To this life) |
| Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leave |
| (I smoked one too many cigarettes |
| I heard one too many lies |
| And I’ve gambled on too many bets |
| I lost it all too this… |
| I smoked one too many cigarettes |
| I heard one too many lies |
| And I’ve gambled on too many bets |
| I lost it all too this life) |
| I’m packing up my desk I’ve put it into boxes (…To this life) |
| Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leave (…To this life) |
