Thinking About Myself

from Living Inside Design by Mikel Rouse

/

lyrics

(I’m Thinking About You Every Minute That I’m Not)
THINKING ABOUT MYSELF

An allergy of broken dreams
A knock inside the head
The fear of flight, of touching down
A mastermind re-tread

The cruising and pretending
The heart bending for the fight
Sits well upon the bottoms
Of America 2-Night

I’m thinking about you every minute
That I’m not thinking about myself
I’m thinking about you every minute
That I’m not thinking about myself

Someday I’ll find I was the one
Who was out of his mind
I’ll count the losses
And bone up on strays
Measuring moments for happier days
I’ll put in gas for the ride

He warms the streets deserted palms
Erasing where he wept
His favorite pastime?
Barking up the wrong tree where he slept

The envelope and history
Of two wrongs make a right
Sits well upon the bottoms
Of America 2-Night

I’m thinking about you every minute
That I’m not thinking about myself
I’m thinking about you every minute
That I’m not thinking about myself

Someday I’ll find I was the one
Who was out of his mind
I’ll count the losses
And bone up on strays
Measuring moments for happier days
I’ll put in gas for the ride
