Simple Fix

There is not a simple fix
We don't know how
To keep the bugs away
You can bargain with a priest
Or board up the windows
It doesn't really pay
I was sitting on the train
Counting the empty seats all around me
And I don't mean to complain
But there's something unreasonable
About being alone in this place

It only took the better part of a year
To find the time to hang all the art
And there's a couple things we still need
To pick up from you know where

Pick up, pick up!
I feel like the only survivor
Of a zombie apocalypse
I move hurriedly through
The desolate cityscape
I barely still recognize

And it's hard to find the point
Where the circus and serenity intersect
But we're good at compromise
Boris Karloff is a personal friend of mine

There is not a simple fix
We don't know how to keep the bugs away
Cabernet and politics
We're settling down
And acting our age
There is not a simple fix
We don't know how to keep the bugs away
Tagalongs (But only six)
Distributed evenly
To cap off the day
