LYRIC FOR SALE

By Brian Tarr

Sunshine, sun rays, I pray you’ll treat me kind today
Beads of sweat falling, trickling down the brims of my brows
Now where oh where is the wind to blow me around
Even evenings are way too hot to settle down

Jumbled, mumbled words on the radio
Spewing all this nonsense I don’t know
I’m burning inside out, I’m overwhelmed
What do I gotta do to get some help?

Take a little break
Have a drink and drown your worries away
Take with a grain of salt the things I say
I’m just as clueless as you

Take a little break
Make some time to think about your day
Whatever happens, know that it’s okay
I’m just as clueless as you

Bare feet burning on the ground
Waves of people dancing till they fall
See them run around like rodeo clowns
Everything goes south when the sheriff’s not in town

Firecrackers pop in the distance
A crowd of idiots stand idle, staring
Until they’re knocked over like bowling pins
What is there to do when no one listens?

Take a little break
Have a drink and drown your worries away
Take with a grain of salt the things I say
I’m just as clueless as you

Take a little break
Make some time to think about your day
Whatever happens, know that it’s okay
I’m just as clueless as you
