Lyrics

On the surface, I seem like a pretty nice guy. Generally accommodating, you know, say nice to meet you even to a complete asshole.
It's always good to give the benefit of doubt because Even assholes have bad days...I guess...

But sometimes I'm like a bowl of Rice Krispies...you know...Snap, crackle, pop...
In the end I'm just...I don't know...A little soggy I guess.
It's good to have a piece of toast, slightly burnt on the side.

Speaking of toast, there's nothin' like a good party to liven things up a bit. A couple shots eases moods, relieves stress...promotes...Flexibility.

I don't drink anymore.

I drink a lot of coffee though. Keeps me alert, on top, focussed, centered, involved, awake, aware, open, thinking, talking, regular, buzzed, hyperactive, interactive, stimulated, isolated yet integrated, agitated, stressed, fried...

Maybe it's the sugar.

My friend Michael can't ingest sugar. He plays flute, oh, there he is, hey Michael.
Our friends Donny & Vickie are vegetarians, so when all of us get together for dinner, there's no meat, and sugarless dessert. Oh, and no alcohol. I don't drink anymore. Anyway, it's a lot of fun. You see what I mean about flexibility.

We talk about the divine nature of the universe, creativity, music, art, the black bean enchiladas, the lack of turkey, both baked and wild. We're all so very now, so very Zen. So politically correct, though we don't talk about politics.

I'm rambling.... Like I said, I'm a pretty nice guy. As long as I'm big on small talk and short on big ideas. I can get along with practically anyone. It's the difference between talking nice and saying what you mean. Try it at home. That's where it really pays off.

I'm usually not this cynical, but it's 4:20 AM, mid November, and I'm drinking coffee. And coffee gets me...aware...
Of course the perfect antidote to all of life's problems is gratitude. And I am grateful for my friends, my family, my music, my health, my cat who is now chewing on the edge of this paper. Better him eat my words than me. And I'm grateful that there are people who really understand and want peace in this world. And I'm grateful I'm up at 4:21 AM so I can watch the sunrise. Oh, it's cloudy...looks like rain...better still...'cause I'm even more grateful for the rain...
