Linear Guy

Lyrics:

Linear Guy…capo up five…key of G…use a damned pick, boy) I am a linear guy Connecting my dots day to day Manufacturing sense Then failing and painfully crawling away I am a linear guy In a world that’s made mostly of curves Where nothing is straight I sip analgesics as I lurch and swerve But in this moment I can bend And shed my need to comprehend And you can be my ibuprofen In this moment I’ve grown most respectably thick Except where my hair’s falling out I am shedding and stout On weakening ankles I wander about I’ve got a slight scratch in my throat That keeps me from speaking my mind I cough up a goat Inhale analgesics to stiffen my spine But in this moment I can breathe I’ve got no motives up my sleeve And you can be my Pain reliever In this moment But this moment is hard to decode I need to make sense of my road I am choked with desire And I’m vibrating tight as a string But a string’s just a highway for waves It’s these connections I crave With a stiff shot of something I’m sure I’ll be brave And in this moment I can heal You show me how to keep it real At least until the moment is my Morphine tablet Yes in this moment I can hum You call the tune I come un-numb Until the moment is my only Pain reliever Morphine tablet Ibuprofen
