The Rocking Chair Tab

    /      

Here I walk, here I walk

                                        

Loooking for an angel's wings in the den of the hawk



   /    

Here I am, here I am

                                        

With a choice between an also ran and a sunbed tan



                                          /

And you thought you'd found your own little look

                

How I misjuged, how I mistook

                                            /

And you thought you'd found the style of your hair

                                        

I guess tonight I'll take, I'll take my troubles to

       

The rocking chair



                                 

So I'll take these high heeled shoes

                                      

And yes I'll take these traditional views

                                        /

I'll take this deep despair of a 30 year old square

         

To the rocking chair



    /     

Here I sit, here I sit

                                       

Looking for a warming smile in a house of cold wit

     /       

Here I stand, here I stand

                                     

Torn between the balding drunk and no man's land



                                         /

And they'll tell you when you've reached your peak

                                     

Where the wulf-whistle rung there's a deafening shriek

                     /

Blowing kisses into the air

                                           

I guess tonight I'll take, I'll take these troubles to

       

The rocking chair



                             

So I'll take these awkward stance

                             

And I'll take this sexless dance

                                        /

I'll take this deep despair of a 30 year old square

        

To the rocking chair

                       /

Am I skinny? A shade too fat?

                             

Mmmm... My friend the cat knows all about that

    

Am I happy?



(Here I sit, here I sit)

             /

Just a little sad



(Looking for a warming smile in the house of cold wit)

                             

Mmmm... My friend the cat knows all about that

    

Am I skinny?



(Here I walk, here I walk)

           /

A shade too fat?
