Story behind the song
This song was just telling a story using images in my head. It seems a bit odd, but it's really just a Walter Mitty sort of tale. Recorded on the Venerable 144 Portastudio (4 track).
Lyrics
You get up in the morning you show up late for work And then you find, you’ve lost your mind you wake up with a jerk It takes you just a moment but by then you’re on the train You catch a whiff, and then a sniff receptors in your brain! Make your way inside at last to earn a little pay Up you walk, to punch the clock that ticks your life away Take a drink of coffee just to spill it on your shirt Ah what the hell, it works as well to cover up the dirt I just want to know what you want to be I just want to see what it takes, to make you go You never want to wait so you’re always left behind And then one day, it blows away too late to change your mind You try to catch an eye but you’re always eating dust You cock an arm, to do some harm distracted by a bust I just want to know what you want to be I just want to see what it takes, to make you go And so you have your lunch inside the bag between your knees A parking space, an empty face your manners mind them please! It takes up all your time just to make the day go by You’re on the train, the same refrain repeat until you die
