It confronts you saying
Have you learned nothing
from our experience together?
What do we do,
we snuffle about
and when we grow tired we nap.
It's such a simple business
to love and be loved
but to do it you have to cease agitating
Turn off the radio, take
A long breath, tell yourself
to stop telling yourself things
Why do you listen to that chattering voice
when it is what got you
the way that you are
Let it go, say goodbye
Help the clown get into the car
And drive away dragging the cans
All the have to's and oughtta be's
have floated away like balloons
all that remains is to
shut up and sing
