What was I thinking when I said, "I do"?
heaven knows I should have become someone
addicted to heroin in a band
this did not happen, as the other shoe
waiting for it to drop, took a lifetime
ask me what I did in the meantime, son
sucker, I watched and counted grains of sand
I resurrected the dead-end jobs shift
to think I wasted my best years, my prime
how did I not see there was so much more
if I took a look around I would see
not only the forest but the seashore
kindness was nowhere to be found, a tree
in the forest fell, no one saw me drift
not simply downstream but to the ocean
grind the children in a spice mill, they say
work them to death, freedom is just a word
how I remember too much emotion
everyone else saw me as just intense
not that anyone else stood in my way
I could have been anyone when this bird
simply whispered in my ear, "I love you"
ask yourself what would you do, on the fence
in another state of mind, run like hell
did I blink, it melted with my mistakes
I do not want to hear it toll, the bell
despite lessons learned in life, that's the breaks
order a round of shots, the other shoe
