Lyrics I Cannot Stop Hearing Lately...

By Bob-

Most of the time
I'm clear focused all around
Most of the time
I can keep both feet on the ground
I can follow the path
I can read the sign
Stay right with it when the road unwinds
I can handle whatever
I stumble upon
I don't even notice she's gone
Most of the time.

Most of the time it's well understood
Most of the time I wouldn't
change it if I could
I can make it all match up
I can hold my own
I can deal with the situation
right down to the bone
I can survive and I can endure
And I don't even think about her
Most of the time.

Most of the time my head is on straight
Most of the time I'm strong enough not to hate
I don't build up illusion 'til it makes me sick
I ain't afraid of confusion no matter how thick
I can smile in the face of mankind
Don't even remember what her
lips felt like on mine
Most of the time.

Most of the time she ain't even in my mind
I wouldn't know her if I saw her
She's that far behind
Most of the time I can even be sure
If she was ever with me
Or if I was ever with her
Most of the time I'm halfway content
Most of the time I know exactly where it went
I don't cheat on myself I don't run and hide
Hide from the feelings that are buried inside
I don't compromise and I don't pretend
I don't even care if I ever see her again
Most of the time.
Most of the time
I'm clear focused all around
Most of the time
I can keep both feet on the ground
I can follow the path
I can read the sign
Stay right with it when the road unwinds
I can handle whatever
I stumble upon
I don't even notice she's gone
Most of the time.

Most of the time it's well understood
Most of the time I wouldn't
change it if I could
I can make it all match up
I can hold my own
I can deal with the situation
right down to the bone
I can survive and I can endure
And I don't even think about her
Most of the time.

Most of the time my head is on straight
Most of the time I'm strong enough not to hate
I don't build up illusion 'til it makes me sick
I ain't afraid of confusion no matter how thick
I can smile in the face of mankind
Don't even remember what her
lips felt like on mine
Most of the time.

Most of the time she ain't even in my mind
I wouldn't know her if I saw her
She's that far behind
Most of the time I can even be sure
If she was ever with me
Or if I was ever with her
Most of the time I'm halfway content
Most of the time I know exactly where it went
I don't cheat on myself I don't run and hide
Hide from the feelings that are buried inside
I don't compromise and I don't pretend
I don't even care if I ever see her again
Most of the time.

the sky is grey, the sand is grey, and the ocean
is grey. i feel right at home in this stunning
monochrome, alone in my way. i smoke and i drink
and every time i blink i have a tiny dream. but as
bad as i am i'm proud of the fact that i'm worse
than i seem. what kind of paradise am i looking
for? i've got everything i want and still i want
more. maybe some tiny shiny thing will wash up on
the shore. you walk through my walls like a ghost
on tv. you penetrate me and my little pink heart
is on its little brown raft floating out to sea.
and what can i say but i'm wired this way and
you're wired to me, and what can i do but wallow
in you unintentionally? what kind of paradise am i
looking for? i've got everything i want and still
i want more. maybe some tiny shiny key will wash
up on the shore. regretfully, i guess i've got
three simple things to say. why me? why this now?
why this way? overtone's ringing, undertow's
pulling away under a sky that is grey on sand that
is grey by an ocean that's grey. what kind of
paradise am i looking for? i've got everything i
want and still i want more. maybe some tiny shiny
key will wash up on the shore.
