Bittersweet Memories

Bittersweet memories flooding through the window
I kiss my love awake and trip into my drawers
I wonder where I'll wander today and forever
Will I always be one step in and one step out the door

Ten o'clock tells me that I'm late for posting pictures
For making those hot leads come piping through the lines
Holding out my hand my honey tosses me the paper
That I hold as I limp to my car covered in fluorescent fines

Later than I recall I guess I made the mortgage payment
Someone called me up and said I hadn't paid enough
But lady that's all I got cause those leads aren't easy picking
When you're selling something convoluted like managed tech and cybercrime

Just hold on hold on, hold on one moment while I get the bossman
He'll inform you of the poor job you've done since the beginning of time
Now look here sign this paper that will make it real easy when the time comes
To let you go and prove we know what we are doing all along

Hey baby how's it going what a rough tough day I've been through
Your son won't stop temper tainting and I stuck my hand in poo
I'm feeling pretty stressed out will you hold me sweet and slow now
No I didn't do the laundry and there is no food in sight

The sun is going down and I look hungry at the covers
But time is not your servant and it's time to clean the house
Give kisses lots of kisses before tucking in the tiger
And wonder how long before the siren starts to wail

Life this is life that is flooding through the window
I don't know when it started but I'm in its clutches now
If I told the me that was younger what it is that I've been doing
I'd probably run for cover from the bombs of time

Sweet and sour memories
Come floating through the window
If you fight them they will always catch you in your drawers
Stand naked before the window and the world will see you weeping
As there is no one that can run from the breezy slipping world of time
