I would like to find a nice way to unwind Take off my hat and prepare for something And wouldn't it be nice if I could put a price On my wrist and sell it at an auction And wouldn't it be grand, if I had a plan Any plan at all I don't care what it concerns I think constantly, so incessantly Of how to free myself Maybe paint a picture of nothing at all Maybe write a letter to an old friend Maybe do a thousand things I've never done before Wouldn't alchemy be a good hobby But making gold has no fringe benefits Only teddy grahams know how I am Don't give me the strength I don't long for A new microphone, perhaps a megaphone To make me sound better than ever How about another day, so that I might say How happy I am
