The criminal element left some stones unturned, their coats in my car. For every river a drawbridge, for every motion an adjective. Every nickel I’m dimed, water logging my slime. How to grow up? Lately I don’t really push much. I’m tired of anger. How to move on? Even comets are staying in one spot. I’m tired of anger. Lickety split, got lost components. So I get tight with customer service, take a backwards road, say thank you with omens. For every white lie I got a gray one and a reason for every failure. Every nickel I’m dimed, I just take it offline. How to grow up? Lately I don’t really push much. I’m tired of anger. How to move on when the ocean is coming up strong? I’m tired of anger. How do I let go? Yank a dandelion and blow. I’m trying, I’m trying. Trying.
