lyrics

I never lived outside of home until
I got a job inside a hospital
I wasn’t looking but I fit the bill
I was a kid I was impressionable

I pushed a trolley with a firm mattress
I flirted with the nurses on nightshift
I put compassion before common sense
And learned to navigate the difference

I got a place above a cobbler’s shop
I’d come home mornings when he’d open up
He’d sweep the pavement with a kitchen mop
He lived out back we didn’t talk a lot

I lived off cereal and Burger Rings
The smell of glue and leather furnishings
I tried to have a nap most evenings
I’ve never had so many lucid dreams

If I wanted nothing more than to tolerate myself
I got there in the end if I wanted something else

I went back to bed I went back to bed
