The New Me

So now what, where do I go from here I'm wandering around feeling a bit weird People that I know don't know how to react Thinking my spirits have finally cracked Not so, I welcome this change of scene Drinking more coffee, it's becoming routine It's similar to finally stopping to smoke After forty long years for fear that I'll croak Well wish me luck, I need your support Hope I don't go weird and begin to cavort Wearing lots of makeup and leather that rocks Playing air guitar with long flowing locks If that starts to happen, I'll revert to the funnies Hopping around like a pregnant bunny Hang on a minute, I think that was funning Well sneaky old me, how utterly cunning

Hey! You and me, man... we talk the same language! CBC radio... when I was a kid, I'd never listen to that "old fashion" radio... NOW nothing else!
