Simple X

Some people wake up on Monday mornings Barring maelstroms and red flare warnings With no explosions and no surprises Perform a series of exercises Hold your fire Take your place around an open fire Before your neurons declare a crisis Before your trace Serotonin rises Before you're reading, your coffee grounds And before a pundit could make a sound And before you're reading your list of vices Perform the simplest exercises So here we are at the end, the war is over There's nothing left to defend, no cliffs of dover So let us put down our pens and this concludes the test Our minds are scattered about from hell to breakfast Hold your fire Take your place around an open fire Before your neurons declare a crisis Before your trace Serotonin rises Before you're reading, your coffee grounds And before a pundit could make a sound And before you're reading your list of vices Perform the simplest exercises Hold, hold your fire Take your place around an open fire --- Simple X - Andrew Bird
