lyrics

THE MUNDANE HOUR (parts 1,2,3)

this is the mundane hour
welcome to the mundane hour
welcome to the mundane
the mundane
24 and counting
but you love your sleep
15 minus having to eat
what do you have left over
a little low on bread
clean and dress your head
get your wheels and your ass in line
behind all the others
so much stays the same
so much to maintain
welcome to the mundane hour

the thoughts I'd be thinking
ooh, the things I'd be making
if my mind and my hands were free

hands that show too many veins
give too much away
I've got the hands of Dorian Gray
but they get the job done
hands to scrub away leftovers
from the other day
open up the bills to paper clutter will consume me
outlive me, it evolves like the cockroach
it will cheat the atom bomb
welcome to the mundane hour

doo 'n' doo...
in a dream, what a dream
you and me, doing nothing
can you see, the busy bee
working his caffeine buzz
Zzzzzzzz
tt's true that he's taking time
to smell beautiful flowers
like every allergy-free-body says you should do
what's it like to be a part of a ritual of mating?
he probably loves his job
doo 'n' doo...
in a day, a perfect day

time would be like a wave
underneath me
I would ride it brave and sure
but not too fast
in a day, a perfect day
could I make, every moment
every hour be a part
of something that would last?
something that would last
in a dream, what a dream...
