| Christine you're so cool You can hang here anytime
 rule or no rule
 ryhme or no ryhme
 
 if I put words in little
 blocks
 thoughts in little
 strings
 
 does it really mean anything?
 
 or is it just a lame attempt
 to reason out
 that which defies reason
 
 Emotions?
 
 Do they fit in the grander scheme of things?
 
 Mr. short order cook, sling me up some hash browned
 seasoned thoughts,
 Give me a side order of ironic wit, to go.
 Go easy on the emotions, they give me gas.
 I have a long road ahead, and this is an all-nighter.
 
 Say Miss, do you have any of those flavored toothpicks,
 you know, the ones with the different colors
 those always help to lift my spirits.
 Do you happen to have the time?
 My watch stopped back in 1972
 
 The highway is a merciless bitch
 she spits at you and then taunts you to sleep
 knowing if you do, you're dead meat.
 
 I always wanted to be a train engineer,
 the pay is better and you get to blow the horn
 
 These interstate highways are something else.
 One time I was headed to Chicago, and ended up
 in LA.
 Shit, all looked the same to me anyway,
 what's another 20 hours at the wheel.
 
 Gotta go now, got to make Tucson by sunrise
 so I can get some sleep, got a load of nuclear
 waste....or was it asparagus, I forget, anyway,
 you take care and keep a pot warm for me,
 I'll be back.
