lyrics

sitting on the back porch of a bus station in berlington
sipping green tea as the hours fly by
killing time with my girl and guitar
the sun sets in the blink of an eye

what to do?

lost my job that I had at the circus today
and I ain't got nowhere to go
so as night falls I relax and kick it back
might as well go with the flow

look around and have a drink
got nothing but time to sit and think

sliding on fruit rinds towards the back of my mind
wondering what I'll find there
staring at skies that lie behind my eyes
can't decide if I'm happy or scared
wondering about the nature of the universe
and just why I'm in it
there's a DJ looking down from a hole in the sky
and damn does he know how to spin it!

what to do?

life goes on just like it always has
and it shows no signs of stopping with me
it's the little moments that matter in the end
finding peace in a cup of green tea
