Behind with Everything


Behind with Everything

I see three minstrels singing
And I want to join right in
They’re handing me a guitar
But I’m behind with everything

The girls are out there clacking
In high heels and wild wigs
I want to jump right on ‘em
But I’m behind with everything

            Gotta write my novel
            And I gotta pay my bills
            I gotta walk my doggie
            And I gotta take my pills
            Looking for a moment
            When the Lord gives me some wings
            I’m so wired here in the Village
            But I’m behind with everything

My neighbors whoop it up all night
Tomorrow they’ll sleep in
I look at them and want to crash
But I’m behind with everything

            Gotta write my novel
            And I gotta pay my bills
            I gotta walk my doggie
            And I gotta take my pills
            Looking for a moment
            When the Lord gives me some wings
            I’m so wired here in the Village
            But I’m behind with everything

When the morning comes I’m moving
Can’t tell me to pack it in
I’m a force of nature swooning
And behind with everything
