I'm Toast

(album: A Steady Drip, Drip, Drip - 2020)

Started at the top
Then I took a drop
Then a further drop
Better bring a mop

I was on your mind
Now I'm not your kind
Felt it all unwind
Now I have a sneaking hunch that

I'm toast
There's something burning
I'm toast
I'm finally learning
I'm toast
Nothing stays the same as it was

First there was that slip
Then a further dip
Then a rapid slide
Am I still alive?

I was there for you
Went to bat for you
Now I'm not your scene
Guess the one thing that all means is

What does it all mean?
What does it all mean?
What does it all mean?
9-1-1

I'm toast
It's worse than what I'd thought
I'm toast
I'm not just overwrought
I'm toast
Alexa, get me out of this place

I'm toast
There's something burning
I'm toast
I'm finally learning
I'm toast
Nothing stays the same as it was

One hit wonders, workplace blunders, some hang on too long
Empty nesters, bad investors, lovers who've been wronged
Here's my hope, that you will never have to sing this song
But you probably will, in fact you're whistling along

I'm toast
I'm toast
I'm toast
Nothing stays the same as it was

Have I made it plain?
I could not sustain
Any hard won gain
Now the choice is jam or butter

I'm toast
It's worse than what I thought
I'm toast
I'm not just overwrought
I'm toast
Alexa, get me out of this place
