77th & Lexington

The cat's on the bed, so's the guitar
I sit here contemplating the world from afar
Hang up the phone, turn off the TV
I ordered in from 3 Brothers Deli
Here is where I am always lucky

77th and Lexington
This is the place I choose to call home
Military aggression, Armageddon
can't be a threat for a second
When I'm here, here in this sanctuary

The walls are off white, so are the sheets
Beams of light play with a print by Dali
Lovers turn psycho, friends are dying
There must be a minute when it won't destroy me
Pleasantly avoiding a nervous breakdown

77th and Lexington
The whole universe fits in this tiny kingdom
Sirens and car alarms and people screaming
can't penetrate apartment 3C
Here, here in my sanctuary

77th and Lexington
Nothing can disturb the peace that I've found
Looks like they're trying to start WWIII
Leave it to the corporate oligarchy
But here I return to sanity

77th and Lexington
Where I can't be affected no matter what's done
When the latest conspiracy theory
makes much more sense than what we see on TV
This is where I find my spirit breathing
