Contemplate the Day

Contemplate the day Before it goes away Sing careless hymns So everyone can hear Churn words in melody You said you saw painting Art that’s too much to see You heard music An instrument couldn’t play Turn off the clock You could use a saint Throw it in the mixer And blend your thoughts away Because you didn’t stop To contemplate the day Here’s the story of a day It wouldn’t go away And I didn’t take my medication Here’s the drum in my ear How’d you like to hear The drolling damnation inside? Maybe if you’d get lost From under that guise
