Time To Think

When they ask me what I need I'll say a capo, a lemonade, a dollar fifty A big bathtub, prosthetic feet, Diana Ross' role in mahogany So I can hang out with billy Dee Williams, and he can hang out with me Pizza, love, and hominy, grits, peach pits, and songs to sing More accountability so I can't get away with being mean Shooting stars, dungarees, band aids on both of my knees A big old house high in the trees, a little shack down by the beach A motor home with golden keys, an A+ in geography And lots of time to think, I need more time to think When they ask me what I've seen I'll say saturn and soliloquies Walden pond, hypocrisy, tetris, and insanity Debt and dope and apathy, ode to joy and pool parties Smooch and run and ancestry, arthur ashe and manatees Sailboats, necessity, lepidopterology The cave of time, dignity, cirque du soleil and lethargy Surface area, rosaries, fair is fair and billie jean Vonnegut at the university, karmic retribution and bigotry Thyroglossal duct cysts, celibacy, love on the rocks, anonymity Osgood schlatter in my left knee, sad flute solos and decaf tea Silly friends, incontinency, yertle the turtle and hierarchy Do it for johnny, pepsilepsy, powder blue ten speeds and puberty Sylvia plath, conspiracies, bad medicine, karaoke Passing gas, irrelevancy, seize the day and let it be Loving dumb skaters who love PCP, dying and dancing on MTV Close calls and infinity, little kids who look up to me It's the end of the world as we know it and we didn't start the fire and adam green I need more time to think, don't you think? I need more time to think When they ask me what I need I'll say a capo, a lemonade, a dollar fifty
