lyrics

Well Jim’s been punching holes in the wall again
With that rusty old hammer from the shed
He swears he can hear all around the house
The whispering voices of the dead
Meanwhile Patty’s not entirely impervious
But she knows better than to try and interfere
So she goes back to reading her horoscope
And finishing her fifth can of beer

And I don’t know why I’m still hanging around
This place is a dump, I hate the whole town
If I come off as crass you’ll have to excuse me
God as my witness it’s all gonna change
I’ve thrown away years on last minute arrangements
But I’m good as gone once the spirit moves me

And Jim is busy wrestling with a garden hose
A turning of the tap was all it took
And though I know he’d love to have an audience
The truth is I can’t bring myself to look
Meanwhile Patty’s casting runes on the kitchen floor
To find out if the moment’s opportune
She’s been mumbling about Mercury in retrograde
And the waxing and the waning of the moon

And I don’t know why I’m still hanging around
This place is a dump, I hate the whole town
If I come off as crass you’ll have to excuse me
God as my witness it’s all gonna change
I’ve thrown away years on last minute arrangements
But I’m good as gone once the spirit moves me

And Jim is tracking airplanes through a telescope
He blames them for this neverending drought
But he wouldn’t take the time to trace his reasoning
Saying “Sonny, do I have to spell it out?”
Meanwhile Patty’s doing a raindance on the trampoline
She learned it from a new age magazine
She’s been going at it for a couple hours now
Without a cloud on the horizon to be seen

And I don’t know why I’m still hanging around
This place is a dump, I hate the whole town
If I come off as crass you’ll have to excuse me
God as my witness it’s all gonna change
I’ve thrown away years on last minute arrangements
But I’m good as gone once the spirit moves me
