i really wish i wasn't such a bumI'm waiting for the phone to ringOn Valentine's Day I fell asleep on the floor So now I'm staring at the ceiling I really should paint it It looks kind of gray I really should get up But I like it this way Nice and flat on my carpet I should be ashamed of myself Lying here In the middle of books and bottles And letters and socks and newspapers I really wish I wasn't such a bum I should be out there Enjoying life at full throttle I'd get people jumping with a snap Man, I'll start tomorrow Right now I gotta nap * This was written for a special performance at a benefit concert for Presentation House in North Vancouver. It was performed as a vocal and bop bass piece. |
