The Mall of Sand and Tar

Berry bursting moments bleed
Too much fun is a scary stuff
Well I wanna be like the nonsense troubadour
Instead of crawling through the darkness with a score

Ya know livin' ain't so easy
But it also ain't that hard
I saw beads of water on a tree tonight
I got a feeling inside
Like I wanna take flight

And I've been floating through my days
In an incandescent haze
And all I wanna know is
Where'd I...? Park...? The car...
In the mall of sand and tar

Kiss the air down a broken hill
Apartments by the riverside
Talkin' to the river a while
He said thanks, try and go round with a smile

You know I should work at Toys R Us
I sure got a lot of games to play
Like the subway beads on the window pane
Just waitin' oh, till I go insane

And I've been floating through my days
In an incandescent haze
And all I wanna know is
Where'd I... Park... The car?
In the mall of sand and tar

Now I bumped into Kieth Jarrett
In a grocery store in town
And the shelves were all jazz standards
And I like to eat up my man's words

And I said How did ya get here?
And he replied How come ya ask?
I told him monkeys hang on to trees
And security guards hang on to keys

And I've been floating through my days
In an incandescent haze
And all I wanna know is
Where'd I...
Where did I...
Where did I...?
Park, the, car...
In the mall of sand and tar
