To pull a song from scratch
to make it all fit and match
sure seems like a job to me

Sure I'm not making all the dough
but I am living a life that I always chose
Free of restrictions no matter the path
Its what I always wanted
so now hear my cash

Its a struggle always and forever
but if it wasn't would I ever sigh?
once for relief and the rest for grief?
Would I sigh?

Part of my job is to say it as it is
and to express just what I mean
by a deep vibrato when I sing
and a steady rhythm to which I play
This is my everyday

To write and to dream
to fathom and to steam
to dig past china
and be on the moon
try to find ideas for you
take them into your lives now out of the womb
for you to be the knife that breaks the bread
on your ever cloudy afternoon
