You tasted the porridge
And ran before the grizzlies took your life
But you tried to ignore it
The yen that wreathes the corners of your mind
All you said you wanted
Was some time alone to look over the Treaty Of Versailles
But all you really wanted
Was a 9 to 5
To pay the bills on time
You dug from the storage
A tapestry they could not weave to scale
Your shoes stuck to the mortgage
Like zebra muscles sticking to the shale
All you said you wanted
Was some time alone to look over the Treaty Of Versailles
But all you really wanted
Was a 9 to 5
To pay the bills on time
To pay the bills on time
All you said you wanted
Was some time alone to reassess your life
All you really wanted
Was a 9 to 5
To pay the bills on time
