cool your boots

even a stopped clock gives the right time

twice a day

across 50 states of mind

i didn't feel inclined

you waited yesterday

i didn't come your way

now time is moving on

i know it won't be long

'til i'm shuffling away with nothing more to say

when i'm printed on your wall

my face won't change at all

the smile beneath my hair hangs lifeless in the air

like a net in water i'm running through it all

and i'm shuffling away with nothing more to say

it's been preying on my mind and now i'm just resigned

you smile for yesterday

i think i'm in the way

you seem concerned and say i should slow down

but how can i see the stars if my feet are on the ground?
