I'm sure he meant well
When he planned out my day
But did my car
Have to break down in the driveway
When things get a start
It always seems they'll stall
Maybe soon I'll get a better hold
On Mondays
I'm sure he meant well
When he planned put my day
But I could have missed
The muggers meetup in the subway
Here as I sit
Some lint to my name
I wonder if I should have majored
In the con game
And I'm sure he meant well
When he planned out my day
But I really wish
I’d seen that wet cement sign
Here as I sink
My bike undertow
I wonder did I leave the lights on
At home
Someday soon
I'll get a better hold on you

Business owner talking to the crowd
Accused of some bad act, about to catch some flak
Instead he cups his hands, says he'd like to do it again
Had a view from our one room apartment
Sally paints “rot in hell” on the dog
Says she'll let it loose at the charity event
School trumpets playing in the air
Wondering if they ever will be in tune
Through the window a frisbee greets my head
Sally yells “I'll kill you hooligans”
Opens the door and out goes the dog
Saw it as an invitation to the park
We searched for the damn dog all day long
And when we got back the paint had begun to peel
On a first glance it looked like
His fur spelt out “not in hill”
Packed on the couch with the Julia Roberts film
Just the four of us me, you, and the mutt
Oh yes and how could I forget
Calmed by the breeze from the windowsill

A man comes along
Is that a reason to start a fight
He's done no wrong
But wear some weird shoes on his feet
Your eyes look up
To face the fool
But he walks past
Paying no attention at all to you
On to your porch pauses
Checks the house number
Opens the door
Places a hat on the hangar
What do you do
Blood stains won't match the drapes no
Plus it seems that he's a pro
With all of your vintage cooking ware
Should you kick him out
That's right on the street
Should you kick him out
Making both of you home free
Hell no man
That's callous at best
Why don't you
Start charging him rent instead
And while you're at it
Go on an laugh about it
Ask him out
See if he will join you tonight for a drink

Watching a commercial
For all of our lives
She says December
Like eating chalk with no chaser
That's what's cool about therapy
You learn so many analogies
Clawing its way back
A song from my youth, and it goes
I need a white noise machine
Of firetrucks and drunk singing
To help me through this tepid silence
Keeping me from causing violence
If sarcasm paid
Well I’d be elsewhere
Saw a man dig his grave
Then hop right in
Those dark thoughts in the mud
Why don't they ever come up clean
I’m glad there's no time machines
Or I’d probably want to pick a fight with me and
Sometimes while on a river
Following the flow of salmon
With a leaky rowboat
A rusty hubcap for all my steering needs
