There've been many, from two coasts, two continents
And I'm here to tell you, they are heaven sent
There's a Freud street in every city in Israel
And I am living proof and here to tell
There's a very good reason for this
His descendants are an important part of life
For those of us who missed
Important pieces of the puzzle when we were growing up
And then they came back to haunt us, and really messed us up
All those women, staring at me from across the room
So thoughtful, so introspective, looking at their latest catch
Knitting their brows, trying to make sense of that
Which I never could, not all by myself
If I could, I would have, maybe just read a book off my shelf
When I think of all the hours
I've talked and tried to understand
It would add up to a short lifetime
In a simpler land
My current one's my favorite.
She lives in my former hood
She's a ****, she's progressive and she'd heal me right now if she could
But alas, there is no short road
there is no easy end to this
You must be quite committed,
You must spend a lot of money and never miss
an appointment, because if you do, you'll trip
And before you know it you'll be back in the dip
where you started
That would be a shame
For a problem is a problem by any other name
"There is no other way but through"
I've read so many times
I imagine a stuffy, grey haired man speaking that line
And yet, it is true
As painful as it is
If it were easy, there'd be a lot more sane people in the world
And we all know it's not like this
