lyrics

PAPERBACK

Pick a paperback from my shelf
and lay back on my bed
and read for awhile.

Wait just a minute there and I'll join you
and forcibly relax and maybe breathe.

You don't have to mind me
as I curse the time I spend on TV news.
You don't have to mind me
as I fuss to get talk radio in tune.

Please pack a brown bag lunch
just for yourself.
Oh, I'll get something fast
on the way back to my desk.

You don't have to mind me
as I curse the time I spend on TV news.
You don't have to mind me
as I fuss to get talk radio in tune.

Tattered, tied, and tangled.
Tethered to a thread
in the information age.
Fettered, fried, finagled.
Fanatic function
in the information age.

Pick that old paperback from my shelf.
We'll forcibly relax and together read.
Maybe even breathe for awhile.
