Sold Short

[00:21.61] This morning I awoke
[00:24.36] hard pressed to catch my breath.
[00:27.05] I thought I'd dreamt the calendar
[00:29.76] shed the better of its depth.
[00:32.43] But oh, my mind she hadn't lied,
[00:35.15] no a whole damn year's gone by.
[00:37.83] So I'm weathered in a wild fit
[00:40.52] faulted as the clock conspired.
[00:44.04]
[00:53.94] Don't ask how I could stand
[00:56.60] to sit on my own two hands.
[01:00.20] The seasons beat about my face
[01:02.01] while still buried in the sand.
[01:05.62] And 'though the time that has elapsed
[01:07.44] has left my lungs collapsed
[01:11.10] at least I've got these limbs to write
[01:13.88] of unleasant plight, alright.
[01:16.57] Well-Oh-Well-Oh-Well
[01:17.75] I sold myself so short again.
[01:21.30] Well, I've been working too hard
[01:23.13] just to fall back on my last resort again.
[01:27.64] Ah man, I'm through
[01:29.46] doing everything I know I ain't supposed to do.
[01:32.29] Well-Oh-Well-Oh-Well
[01:34.08] I sold myself so short.
[01:38.51]
[01:48.40] While I'm wide-eyed, my thoughts collide;
[01:52.09] I pry myself out of bed.
[01:53.86] Just a bag of weary bones on stilts
[01:56.54] doing battle with my head.
[02:00.19] And, with the sermon I just wrote,
[02:02.89] I'm preaching it to coax
[02:05.53] my head back from a humdrum hell
[02:08.20] and the stale that it evokes.
[02:10.97] Well-Oh-Well-Oh-Well
[02:11.90] I sold myself so short again.
[02:15.47] Well, I've been working too hard
[02:17.39] just to fall back on my last resort again.
[02:21.84] Ah man, I'm through
[02:23.60] doing everything I know I ain't supposed to do.
[02:27.21] Well-Oh-Well-Oh-Well
[02:28.39] I sold myself so short.
