Get Well Card

Get Well Card
I have this habit of knowing
just when you'll descend.
You have a new script in hand,
wait for it to kick in.
I have this habit of knowing
just when to pretend.
Look around, look around, look around
and you'll see life is hard.
Don't know where to start ... maybe trash my guitars.
Take a look around,
its a terrible mess you've made of your life.
I memorized a few lines from a get well card.

Well, I come in from the hinterlands.
"Yeah, what did you see?"
The city's in mourning, its all over TV.
Now everyone has the intellect of an angst-riddled teen.
Look around, look around, look around
and you'll see life is hard.
Don't know where to start ... maybe crash my car.
Take a look around,
its a terrible mess you've made of your life.
Take a look and I think you'll find
I found words best left unsigned.
I memorized a few lines from a get well card.

Look around, look around, look around
and you'll see life is hard.
Don't know where to start ... maybe break a broken heart.
We all surround ourselves with people just like ourselves.
That's the reason why we'll never get real help.

Was I unkind? Was I too harsh?
When I memorized a few lines from a get well card?

You look out for number one, don't you girl?
Well, here's hoping you end up with what you deserve.
The city's in mourning, haven't you heard?
We all surround ourselves with people just like ourselves.
That is why we'll never get real help.
