I woke up on the wrong sidenI didn't apologizenThe way I feel is groundlessnI mean it's written in the skiesnnAnd I could take my chancesnAnd ask myself to changenBut nobody ever dances these daysnAnd we don't sing in the rainnnTime is nothing personalnI took time out to be politenThey arrested me for forgerynBecause I got it rightnnAnd I might be in prisonnWhere they tally time with chalknBecause nobody follows the birds these daysnEveryone would rather walknnThe leaves are doing somersaultsnSince summer's hair went graynThey look for any reason at allnTo bow their heads and blow awaynnAnd I brought along the evidencenThis camera behind my eyesnBut everyone needs documentation these daysnNobody is reading mindsnnA bluebird ate a spidernAll the worms stayed undergroundnAnd I once loved a womannWho never made a soundnnAnd it might have been for alwaysnBut luckily it rainednBecause nobody has any patience these daysnWe all want something in betweennnI know an aging doctornI let him read my chartnThen he shined a light right through menAnd it came out question marksnnAnd then he shrugged his shoulders and saidnGo forth and run and hidenBut you're just like all the others I've seennA skeleton insidennI saw my friends jump overboardnThe ship forgot to looknThen the passengers got out their microscopesnTo see just who the water tooknnAnd I would pledge allegiancenTo that lifeboat on the seanBut everyone wants to be dead these daysnOr else they want to be free
