DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WANT
TO ALWAYS BE CHASING AFTER SOMETHINGS
A CONSTANT RACE YOUR SURE CANT BE WON
BUT NEVER CONCIEDING AS AGONY SINGS,
YOU CAN COME WITHIN WHAT SEEMS LIKE AN INCH
SO CLOSE YOU CAN TASTE THE VICTORY
ONLY TO BE DENIED ONCE AGAIN, CRUELTY
REARS IT'S HEAD AND REMINDS US OF HISTORY,
YOU FIGHT AND STRAIN TO CONTINUE GOING
NEVER RELENQUISHING YOUR TEADIOUS QUEST
COLLECTING STRENGTH IN SMALL CAT LIKE STAGES
WANTING TO BE BETTER AND ALWAYS AT YOUR BEST,
PLOTTING AND PLANNING A SMOOTHER FUTURE
EFFICIENCY AND WASTE MANAGEMENT ISSUES TABLED
IF ONE COULD ONLY MAXIMIZE EVERY MINUTE
DAILY DOSAGES WOULD THEN HAVE TO BE LABELED,
YOUR ALMOST THERE FIGHT BACK YOUR YAWNS
EYES BURNING AND SWELLING FROM SALTY TEARS
TRYING NOT TO FALL ASLEEP BEHIND THE WHEEL
GLAD AS HELL NOT TO HAVE DRANK ANY BEERS,
IF MY DRIVING SEEMED WILD AND RECLUSE
NIETHER PASSENGER SAID ANYTHING, NOT A PEEP
BOTH WERE SO DRUNK THEY MUST NOT EVEN NOTICE
HOW MANY TIMES I ACTUALLY HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP.
THE DRIVE HOME FELT TWICE AS LONG
AND ROUGHER THAN THE ONE TO GET THERE
BUT NEXT YEAR IF THIS IS NOT ON THE WEEKEND
I WILL BOOK TIME OFF THIS I SWEAR
MY BODY CRIES BOLDLY OUT
'JUST GIVE ME A SPARE MOMENT MAYBE TWO'
'STOP PUSHING ME SO HARD THESE DAYS'
WE ALL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN TOO.
WE ARE SO CLOSE NOW I CAN SEE HOME NOW
I CAN TELL BY THE LARGE PEN OF SHEEP
CAN SEE MY SOFT COLD PILLOW TAUNTING ME
'COME LAY YOURSELF DOWN AND GET SOME SLEEP.'
THE TIRES RATTLE VIOLENTLY BENEATH US
SHAKING THE TRUCK TO IT'S LAST WELD
THE LAST TIME I NODDED OFF AT THE WHEEL
THAT WASN'T A PATURE THAT EVERYONE SMELLED.
