Pilot

Deep inside my mind, there is this thought that tries to hide
It succeeds most of the time but shows itself when I'm lying
In my bed up late at night when I can't sleep but I won't rise
To capture what I'm hearing in my head so I just lie
And tell myself that I'll remember in the morning but oh my
Resistance just grows stronger each time I refuse to try
But tonight I felt it coming so I told the wife goodnight
Grabbed a notebook and a pencil and I waited for a sign

Six hours at it now
And I'm fading fast
I think I just found the hook
I hear it now but I'm tired and I'm trying to recite
But will it come right back when I wake?

Plus this tune won't be my last I tell myself as I drift off
Tomorrow is a brand new opportunity to cheat myself
So I'll get up and work from nine to four or ten to five
Be an adequate, compliant, cheerful, corporate guy
Then perhaps a sign will come to me as I wrap up with work
And I'll have the time and space I need to jot down and record
Okay I was mainly joshing, I don't think I stand a chance
But I heard that optimism helps us fight the resistance

Six hours at it now
And we're starting to drag
Oh brother here comes the hook
Well I had it then it was fine
Now I'm trying to revive
But will it come right back on this take?

Six years at it now
And there's no turning back
Oh Mother this is the hook
You hear it now though it's late
And you're wasted but maybe
It'll stick with you when you're

Gone, gone, gone
It'll stick with you when you're gone
