Late for work third day this week
boss say my ice is thinning
can't find my paddle I'm sure up the creek
and I'm not too hot at swimming
Crashed my car late last night
that pole jumped right out at me
I signaled left but the world went right
and bent like origami
If I could only find a little peace
some place that's sweet and quiet
I'd get up off the floor, not do stupid anymore
at least I'd like to try it
My one true love says they've had enough
and got a judge to sign it
If I could get Jesus and still do my stuff
I might really get behind it
All I want is just a little peace
like a room in the Vegas Hyatt
I'll pray from the floor, spray tags on the door
and do the desk clerk to keep it quiet.
