Street Flash

Does anyone in here get hit
With inside fever?
So bad sometimes it's hard
To move around
They'll show you all the things
You are not doing
Instead of helping you they'll
Block ya out
And you're whining you shouldn't waste your morning
But the couch fibers kept you inside
Said I'm so sorry I came in
Late this evening
But all the clocks around
The town had died
And all the fruit store's colors
Were so bright
With couples smiling
Cooking things tonight
And what were all those
Troubles on my mind
Oh I took a walk

(Cough!
Sniff)
Well, uh
Just what I need, right? The morning light
The room (cough) we all have
No more any [?]
I just listen tonight
And all we know
Is all that I have
Is in control

The room is still a little hot
And I don't break 'til midnight shock
Are you coming out tonight?
Pretend I am? Well, I just might

The room is filled with ancient dates
Where I've been and what I ate
Before I'm asked to throw them out
I play with every little doubt

The room is filled with gummy bears
Electric shavers, ingrown hairs
I keep the curtains tied in knots
You sleep on cotton, rest in cots

The room is filled with catalogues
Encyclopedias, books enough
To keep me busy in the morning
Sun sets fast without a warning

The room is filled with cords and plugs
Electronic translucent bugs
And what's that crawling all around?
What's that twitching, is it still alive!?
Is it still alive!?
Is it still alive!?

Late this evening
But all the clocks around
The town had died
And all the fruit store's colors
Were so bright
With couples smiling
Cooking things tonight
And what were all those
Troubles on my mind
Yes I took a walk

Oh I like a walk
