lyrics

Standing outside, cold and warm fronts collide, and I’m bored
But the northbound Metra blows by and won’t let me on board
So I wander and wonder whether it would please the Lord
To spend subsidized government loans on a real keyboard

But on we go

I’m living more in my head than in the concrete
Making friends before talking, making steps before walking on sleet

But on we go

Give me something to do or a new window through which to look for relief
Wish list of new places, but listlessness pins me without belief
Stick a playing card in my bicycle spokes and it makes a motor sound
Set the handles too high and the bar too low and I never leave the ground
There are unresolved tensions and vague apprehensions of failed romances
And life’s not a journey, it’s a series of rehearsals and performances
And it’s all I can to reconcile my alter ego with the flow
Condemned to ever weigh and waver to and fro on the merits of Fort Wayne and Chicago

On we go
But ennui stays
