Peter Katz Ok
Now what was I saying
Seems I forgot
All’s I know’s I was playing --now I’m not.
Well I put all my marbles
In one great big pile
And I one by one gave them away for a while
Oh but then all those bullies
Rose up from the sand
They took twice my offering
And emptied my hands
Well damn them all to hell…
So I took all this paper
And I fashioned a boat
And I set it on water to see if it’d float
Well it sank like the silence
When I try to sleep
It sank as if wanting to make fun of me
Well ok ok ok
Ok I’ll shut up and play
‘Cause try as I may
They may stay or walk away
Ok ok
I guess that I’m learning
Those lessons in life
Just ‘cause I touch it
Don’t mean that it’s right
And just ‘cause I came here
With words on my mind
Don’t mean they should listen
Or give me their time
Well ok ok ok
Ok I’ll shut up and play
‘Cause try as I may,
You may stay or walk away
Ok ok ok
Now what was I saying…?
