Flowers On the Wall
I keep hearin your concerned about my happiness.
but all that thought you're given me is conscience I guess.
If I were walking in your shoes I wouldn't worry none
While you and your friends are worrying about me I'm havin lots of fun
counting flowers on the wall,
that don't bother me at all.
Playing solitaire till dawn
with a deck of 51.
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo.
Now don't tell me, I've nothing to do.
Last night I dressed in tails pretending I was on the town.
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down.
So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin fine
You can always find me here, I'm havin quite a time
counting flowers on the wall,
that don't bother me at all.
Playing solitaire till dawn
with a deck of 51.
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo.
Now don't tell me, I've nothing to do.
It's good to see you, I must go. I know I look a fright,
and anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light.
and my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
I must go now back to my room and make my day complete
counting flowers on the wall,
that don't bother me at all.
Playing solitaire till dawn
with a deck of 51.
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo.
Now don't tell me, I've nothing to do.
No don't tell me, I've nothing to do.

Not my write
but most certainly my life.
