Soon the Night

Coming home late from work

Standing outside in the dark

It's three o'clock and I'm fumbling for my keys

I ought to fix that front porch light

Maybe tomorrow I'll remember

Then I laugh when I remember that I won't

Maybe it's wasting time

The way I'm spending mine

Guess I should get something done

While everyone's asleep

I claim that time for me

And it's too dark to be mowing that lawn

Pickin' up pork chop bones left on the floor by my bad dog

Mumbling to myself

Take a look in the fridge

Grab some tostitos and picante sauce

And I'm headed for my chair

Maybe it's wasting time

The way I'm spending mine

Guess I should get something done

While everyone's asleep

I claim that time for me

And it's tood dark to be mowing that lawn

Enough of that tv jones

Turn it off and crawl into bed with my dead wife

Fumbling with my sheets

Turn out the light

Turn over and kick out my cat

It's a sleepytime cartoon

Maybe it's wasting time

The way I'm spending mine

Guess I should get something done

While everyone's asleep

I claim that time for me

And it's too dark to be mowing that lawn
