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
