Timeless Towns and Haunted Places

(Nutra Stick Productions, 2003)

Uncomfortable Chairs

 


They want to put prayer in school, but you can’t swear while crashing your canoe
That is all I could think of as I sat alone moping in my room

Not knowing if it helps that I might see you there
As I’m walking through this circus that thinks it’s a fair
And the only thing I’m sure of is there’s a place where

There are uncomfortable chairs that they charge you to sit in,
Something I’ve been in before

They want to force kids to pray, but you can’t swear while crashing your canoe
And sometimes you’re like that, but you admit it, smiling, when it’s true

And maybe every movie is good, like you say
And maybe every year contains mostly fine days
And even if you’re wrong, I still don’t have to pay

For the uncomfortable chairs that they charge you to sit in,
And I will be in no more
