HAPPY EVEN ONLY
I spent a little money on a lemon crunch scoop
Lost track as I ate it, it tasted so good
And I found a nice spot in the shadow
There’s a little grey robot, at home on the grass
Spinning and mowing, living up to the task
And I’m gazing with great affection
So nice to be distracted , letting go just let it happen
If a simple step aside can make you happy, even only for a while
I spent the best quarter of an hour or so
Old cat on my lap, she purred and I stroke
Then she left me with my eyes closed
Got me a coffee and I got me a Mars
My bag’s riding shotgun and the radio talks
We are making a home on the freeway
So nice to be distracted , letting go just let it happen
If a simple step aside can make you happy, even only for a while
There’s one hell of a party going on in mind
Do I disappear do I socialize
Should I greet the unexpected

SOLID GROUND
You took a walk went into town
trying to find some solid ground
with all that shit going down
you try to wrap your head around
you wanna make things make it work
to make it work things must be done
this tied up person you become
trying to wrap your head around
find solid ground
dog gone wild and put to sleep
a promise made you couldn't keep
sometimes you find you dig to deep
trying to wrap your head around
costs of living trouble housing
gone through the roof and it's arousing
stuff inside you that's just haunting
you try to wrap your head around
and find solid ground
a grand piano resonates
with things you love or fear or hate
to feel with sounds you generate
you try to wrap your head around
if I knew I told you how
to think it through and figure out
now it's an obstacle I found
I try to wrap my head around
and find solid ground
