lyrics

You jump in the middle of a lion's den,
Rinse and repeat it won't wash out
The wheel's always turning for the journeyman,
Skip to the beat of the same drum
You preen through the jungle like a matador,
That same old tale you can't untell
The same explanation that we've heard before,
Leap to your feat profess it all

Just tap to the rhythm of the same refrain, You're only leaving 'fore you go insane
You trip through the simpleness of silence, Now cue the cymbals and the violins

You stroll past the embers of an old sedan,
No new debris to slow you down
All grand destinations of the common man,
A filigree that's next-to-none
You shrink from the violets you represent,
Take to the street and stir it up
More rules to consider and to circumvent,
Your slow retreat into the sun

You wait in the window with that blank old stare,
You better believe it that it's cruel out there
You don't stop to eat until your story's told,
You just keep swimming in your own fish bowl

You snort in derision at the simpletons, A parody beyond us all
New bones of contention that prolong the din, Could they all be Neanderthals
The quiet complications of the mortal soul, The third degree of your Qi Gong
Exact same position that you were before, Rinse and repeat it won't wash out

You drift from the cupboard to go through the mail,
But you don't read you'd rather just inhale
You long to imagine that it's grand outside, And tell everybody that you're satisfied
