THE BRAND NEW RAG

I passed the point of no return…
Now how’d I get back there again?
And just when I thought I knew where I was bound.
I’ve been through all of this before
But I keep comin’ back for more.
Guess its some of what’s been goin’ ‘round.

And if somebody asks me where I’m goin’
I must confess I really do not know
With any luck I’ll know it when I get there
‘cause there’ll be nowhere else for me to go.

Times like these can twist yer Head
Life seems like it wants me dead
I try to smile but all I get is frown.
I wonder how it all got started
Empty-headed, broken-hearted
Guess its some of what’s been goin’ ‘round.

And if somebody asks me what I’m doin’
I must confess I haven’t got a clue
I’ve never seen much point to heavy plannin’
And I like to be surprised by what I do

I watch the seconds flying by –
No-one can say I didn’t try.
But all my ups keep turnin’ into down.
You tell me everything is fine
But your voice sounds a lot like mine.
Guess it’s some of what’s been goin’ ‘round.
