Anywhere But Now and Here Will Doo Da Jar Vue
Knowing myself as only
i unfortunately do
My feebles and my foibles
Whence life becomes nothing
but this to me
This i also know i am not
the many but the few
Who take safety and comfort
in routine
As feeling like a postman or a
milkman following the same
old trodden round commute
I fear far more than change
For if nothing new there be
to see or experience
No corner left to turn every
line runs true and straight
I see no point of journeying
a 1 single step further
I'd far rather choose to press
the red button marked stop
get off and eject myself
To anywhere but right here
right now
Because that to me at very
least represents something
yet to be discovered turning
a corner
As yesterday to me is already
old and in the distant past
Truth be told i am far more
interested in what the future
holds and creating fresh new
memories
Than having to constantly
dredge up and ruin my
most joyful cherished
memories of old
To get me through another
day plagued by endless
Da-Jar-Vue
Pardon my French if you
know what i mean
