Looking for distraction
Close your eyes and count to three
There's a gun, a rope and a candlestick
So please choose carefully
I've got Dylan on my stereo
I've got women on my mind
There's a fire burning in my heart
And a pulse that's racing fast behind
And I said hey there, you there, look there
How's it going to be?
I'd love to know your mind
Maybe I will find the time
And put the world to rights
Oh, how much fun that would be
It's the break of dawn on Christmas morn'
But the clock reads half past three
The clock it broke down years ago
And just spectates silently
There are lawyers trying to chase me
For some money they say I owe
But I'm broke and sure I'm in the clear
So I'll tell them where to go
And I said hey there, you there, look there
How's it going to be?
I'd love to know your mind
Maybe I will find the time
And put the world to rights
Oh, how much fun that would be
Running 'round late at night
Naked in the candlelight
But that was just a daydream
And you're stubbornly fully clothed
And I change address every few days now
So perhaps it's time to go
I think that this year could be different
I can feel it in the air
You know that it's a miracle
That I made it here at all
They placed bets I'd die young at school
And I guess I proved them wrong
You might see me in the street
And you would never really know
'Cause some things they are best left unsaid
And melt with the winter snow
And I said hey there, you there, look there
How's it going to be?
I'd love to know your mind
Maybe I will find the time
And put the world to rights
Oh, how much fun that would be
Oh, how much fun that would be
