THE STORM DOOR PHILOSOPHER
SAID I'M NOT THE BOSS OF HER
AND TOOK OFF WITH MY HAT IN THE SNOW
THERE'S NO TIME FOR YOUR SHOWER
SEE YOU IN AN HOUR
AND PLEASE DON'T BE LATE FOR THE SHOW
 
WELL, I SHOWED UP LATE ANYWAY
TODAY'S JUST LIKE ANY DAY
I CAN'T HELP THE WAY THAT I AM
I GOT FAULTS AND IDIOSYNCRASIES
TO NAME JUST A FEW OF THESE
SELF-ISOLATION, PROCRASTINATION
AND I'VE CONSTANTLY GOT MY HEAD IN THE SAND
 
CHORUS:
WELL, IT'S WRITTEN IN THE DIRT ON THE STORM DOOR
OR THE DIRTY BACK WINDOWS OF CARS
IT MAY SEEM ABSURD
FOUR ONE SYLLABLE WORDS
THE STORM DOOR PHILOSOPHER WROTE
 
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND
LIFE IS A BATTLE GROUND
ALWAYS KEEP KARMA IN CHECK
KEEP YOUR ENERGY ENERGIZED
GET YOURSELF HYPNOTIZED
AND YOU WON'T BE SUCH A NEUROTIC WRECK
 
WISE IN THE EYES OF HER
WITH LOTS OF ADVICE FROM HER
WEIRD HIPPIE PSYCHOLOGY
TAPIN' UP AFFIRMATIONS
TO CURE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS
AND BE THE MAN THAT SHE KNOWS I CAN BE
 
REPEAT CHORUS
 
WHEN THE MOON'S IN THE SEVENTH HOUSE
OR THE TENTH OR ELEVENTH HOUSE
WHO CARES ABOUT JUPITER'S RELATION TO MARS?
I GOT BIGGER FISH TO FRY
AND I THINK I'M AN ALRIGHT GUY
I GOT NO TIME TO LOOK TO THE STARS
 
BUT, I GUESS I'M AN ARIES
EVEN THOUGH I DON'T CARE. EASY
DOES IT, I LIVE DAY TO DAY
SO, TAKE YOUR NEW AGE IDEALS
(IT'S TIME TO GET REAL)
AND SELL IT TO SOME OTHER LOST SOUL IN THE FRAY!
 
REPEAT CHORUS
