It takes a toll on me

it ain’t rock and roll you’ll see

a rambling man

running hard

with no place to be

but everywhere to go

the weight of the world 

pressurized inside my dome

tried to talk to god

he had a speech impediment

mumbles like a madman

balding in the back

repeats the same stories

most of them are whack

tall tales too predictable

mostly unbelievable

they all end the same

fire glory pain

I did my best to explain

the scene from my side of the pane

a simple man stumbling

it all keeps spinning

I try to play the lottery

with no intention of winning

more money more problems

they’d probably make me get a bank account

upsell me to VIP

but I prefer the nosebleeds

cheap tricks 

watered-down drinks

cat’s got your tongue

but don’t let him have your nose

they’ll diagnose me with a tumor 

and say it’s on my soul

too dangerous to operate

can't sit still

won’t cooperate

transplant list is mad long

all the names are spelled wrong

he stopped my little anecdote

told me not to worry

the thing looks benign 

and there’s free health care in purgatory
