Drag

Heartless hum of cicada slums
Still feel the sun when the day is done
My bones are wet
They sweat when I squeeze
My head in my hands praying for a breeze
I swallow my pills by the window sill
Try to find words for the way I feel
The telephone's got an ugly tone
Savages and spiders they eat their own
I'm like a dog that don't like to bark

Just a muddy old crow can't find the ark
My feet are muddy, I guess, I suppose
I'll put'em under the water hose
Sometimes I lose all humility
Sometimes I can't find what's in front of me
Sometimes the song finds a hole in the bag
Sometimes the summer, it's just a drag
It rained last night, I watched it fall
Heard the radio bleeding thru the walls
I couldn't remember what Dichotomy meant

Then something happened, something clicked
I found my woman reading in her chair
We made love out of despair
Sometimes I lose all humility
Sometimes I can't find what's in front of me
Sometimes the song finds a hole in the bag
Sometimes the summer, it's just a drag
