I write from the bowels of Wish I Could Sleep
Which borders the swamp of Too Tall
Which was named for the bed that was somehow too short
Where the Sleeper couldn't stretch out at all.
I call, at this very late hour, to say
That tomorrow I'd better not forget
The car's in the shop, the WiFi's down,
And though my new book wasn't great
I can write without car and internet, too
I am capable of this
But if anyone from Luxury calls
Just tell them to talk to the fist!

The car's in the shop, the WiFi's down,
And though my new book wasn't great
I can write without car and internet, too
I am capable of this
But if anyone from Luxury calls
Just tell them to talk to the fist!
