I caught the train for a day of work downtown
The carousel rat race fuckery keeps spinning me around
Got off the train and walked amongst humanity in bunches
Dodging people left and right like Ali dodging punches
I swear I heard you off to my right side asking for directions
I could tell that it was you just from your cadence and inflections
I tried to turn around and head back north to where I heard your voice
But the human wave was pushing south so I went along, I had no choice
Thought long and hard about going back once I had broken free
From the shackles of the Bhutan death march commuter misery
You’d be long gone and I’d have no clue about which path you had taken
So I just kept going with the crowd and I was supernaturally shaken
I woke up from a so-called sleep when I heard your footfalls on my floor
I reached for the light like it would save my life then I didn’t hear them anymore
It seems like once again an apparition is testing my resolve
I play the role of Sherlock Holmes but this is one case I cannot solve
I toss and turn and roll myself up like a mummy in my sheets
If serenity is victory then mark me down for a defeat
I opened my copy of On the Road, read about Kerouac in California
I complained to Jack about my dreams and he said, man, I tried to warn ya
Don’t go there man, I don’t know what I need, but it sure isn’t a lecture
I could tell you what my dreams all mean, but it would only be conjecture
That night I never got a wink of sleep, so how could I awaken?
I guess I’ll just lay here again supernaturally shaken
It might seem to some that my behaviour and thought patterns might be risky
My heart is soaked in melancholy and my brain is drenched in whiskey
The days fall off the calendar at a rate that is quite alarming
That you’ve drifted so goddamn far away is just a little bit disarming
But I see you in the grocery store and I see you on the subway
I see you in the coffee shop and I see you on the highway
I see you in my kitchen and I see you on my phone
I see you when I’m with my friends and I see you when I’m alone
I see you in my past and I see you in the now
I don’t see you in my future and that’s the whole point anyhow
I once thought I had a chance but I guess I was mistaken
So I’ll just stumble through the drunken night supernaturally shaken
I caught the train for a day of work downtown
The carousel rat race fuckery keeps spinning me around
