Appointment In Samarrah

"When the club members cut you loose

When you smiled at their indiscretions

Did you dream of taking the reins of the stampeding elephant?

Or is it easier to be lazy?

And to avoid all confrontation

So you hop in the van

And stake your claim to the career

While you were hanging on for dear life

Throw me off the side

It just ain’t worth the vibe

And you make it up as you’re going

pretending that you know what’s right

Taking this speed is gonna make you feel good

It’ll lift you right out of the sand trap

Pretty pictures in your froth

You’re no longer coming off like a madman

You can repeat the same worn out stories (a Mirage can be fatal, you might not be able,

with no water there may be no way back)

Include your superiors in your celebrations

Your PA goes out on a limb you learn to give her vacation "
