Second Wind
The air is bland today
I get sleepy, eyes are droopy
Turn the radio up
Tuuuuuesday…
Aaaaaafternoon
I love that commercial
The announcer asks
As the music fades into the chorus
When was the last time you took your daughter
To the aquarium
On a Tuesday afternoon?
The little girl’s eyes are so big and bright
As she stares dreamily at the fish
A large turtle swims towards them and waves
The blues and greens of the aquatic life
So serene, peaceful…sleepy
Let’s change the station, shall we?
And try to stay awake ALL the way home
I find a song that I can scream the lyrics to
This will do…
And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I’m lying
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
Before I know it
I’m pulling up to our complex
Getting the mail
Still screaming along with the music
My neighbors think I’m nuts
But it is OK because now I have my second wind
