I read a stack of psychology books
When my mind went off the tracks
Now I’m but a therapist
With a knapsack on my back
I’ve gone my way a wandering
Through the depths of misery
I come from Babylonia
With a Bible Belt
Whipping me
Borne of milk and honey
The hungry heart is doomed
Ate my cake and ice cream
Everything I could consume
Now I’m old and thirsty
Setting at this ***** bar
Looking for a meaning
Of life as yet so far
