about

Possibly an exploration of the ennui and general malaise resulting from unrealized ideals and dreams. Or possibly a song about being bored while my girlfriend was out shopping.

lyrics

Cool, cool, cool in your place
You've got nothing but space
And a whole lotta time

She's got nothing to do
At least, nothing with you
But you swear that it's fine

We're so high, and so dry
It's not right, not right

Fools in cars, they don't stop
Don't they know you're on top?
And at the head of the line

You're sure that's what the cat meant
Right before he got bent
And left you high and so dry

We're so high, and so dry
It's not right, not right
