Aching Molasses artwork

(rooster crowing)
Ow!! Oh My God! /
My body
it’s becoming a fading memory /
a constant struggle
to keep on moving /
(I can’t get up!
I can’t get up!)

I have more band-aids on my body
than Les Nessman from WKRP /
…Cincinnati…
(you’re showing your age)

I used to be on the stage
hurling obscenities
rolling on the floor /
now I’m a stay inside molasses
listing insecurities /
double-checking
the locks
on my door
(lock that door
lock that door)

it used to be so easy
24 beers
(hey there Mr. Socialite) /
now I’m inside
grinding
grinding
grinding
the weeds /
where’s the compromise?
where’s the balance?

the things I feared
are the things I love /
the things I loved
are the things I fear /
the things I needed
are the things I loathe /
the things I sought
are the things I shun /
the things I feared
are the things I fear
the things I loved
are the things I fear
hmmm…deep…ok..deep

* groan *
I need a metronome
to find rhythm in my life /
I already tried a wife
common law
nice try

still breathing
still learning
still living /
the wheels are still rolling
rolling /
hurling obscenities
rolling on the floor /
writing inanities
putting the bolts
back on my door /

shhhh…
there’s dangerous people out there…

he used to be so much more fun when he drank…
goodnight.
