Constituents

(album: Favorite Waitress - 2014)

It's been so long since you've crossed my mind
I find ways to pass the time
Chasing monkeys through the rings of hell
Suits me exceptionally well

And all my constituents agree
I've been changed like a pebble in the sea
By the politics of time
But riddle me this:
What happiness is mine?

That old comedian we lived above
Asked me to send his love
He's chasing Andy Warhols Brillo box
Down 5th Avenue in his socks

And all my constituents agree
He's been framed like the kid from Rosko Gee
By the politics of war
But riddle me this:
What happiness is yours?

I hope this letter finds you safe and well
Like an oyster in it's shell
I will see you when I take my rest
On the lunatic express

And all my constituents agree
We're as lost as a letter in the sea
In this universe of bars
But riddle me this:
What happiness is ours?
