You Must Change Your Life

Going through the motions

Trying to pay the bills

Nothing too fancy

Wearing shirts with less frills

Nothing’s really clicking

You’re in a funk

Feeling like an iceberg

That just lost a chunk

You must change your life

Well, we all got drunk

But only your face has a gash

Now you’re breathing through a snorkel

In an Epsom salt bath

Moved into a tent

On your back porch

But it’s so hard to sleep

With your neighbor’s tiki torch

It’s never too late, never too late

What are you waiting for?

You’re losing the kick

In your pourover soul

Wilting like the greens

In your macrobiotic bowl

Playing a part

Where someone’s feeding you the lines

Looking for the exit

But you can’t read the signs

Promises made, then you forgot

Fruit was so ripe, then it got rot

Feeling yourself peeling away

Never that great, never too late
