lyrics

It's a matter of confused irrelevance
In your relationship with yourself
Do you find the door to the garden open and waiting
Or are your books deeply buried on your shelf?
With the grace of a foreign diplomat
You succumb to the decisions at hand
And you mind ticks away most ungraciously
Sometimes your greatest enemy's your friend

Mary and Martin always had a cure
For your average daily blues
Up at five before the sun
In bed at ten before the news
"Mondays through Saturdays ain't much," they say
"There's still one day left to booze
Besides what the hell would we do with ourselves?
There's no time left to lose."
