|
Humming to himself as he, |
|
Is thinking of his latest debts, |
|
Juggling some numbered thoughts, |
|
Wondering what might come next, |
|
And swears he won't, |
|
Ever stop, |
|
Unless he wants what |
|
She surely does not, |
|
Oh, Jim, John, |
|
Jackie, and |
|
Susie Q, They mind their manners but so do you, |
|
Oh we breathe all of these words that make no sense, |
|
Humming to himself as he, |
|
Is thinking of his latest debts, |
|
Juggling some numbered thoughts, |
|
Wondering what might come next, |
|
And swears he's right, |
|
Though he's convinced himself it is, |
|
Working in an upscale place, |
|
She's thinking of her son's demise, |
|
On his epitaph a doctor's bill, |
|
She puts off for another time, |
|
And swears she won't, |
|
Ever stop, |
|
Unless she wants what |
|
She surely does not, |
|
Oh, Jim, John, |
|
Jackie, and |
|
Susie Q, They mind their manners but so do you, |
|
Oh we breathe all of these words that make no sense, |
|
Not gonna see till my singing days are gone, |
|
Not gonna hear until the fires have burned on, |
|
Not gonna, no oh, |
|
Not gonna, no oh, |
|
Not gonna, no oh, |
|
Till the singing days are gone. |
