Lizard on My Shoulder

Verse 1

Woke up with a lizard on my shoulder

He told me the ceiling was a door

I nodded slow and poured a drink for nothing

The glass just stared back at me raw

Pre-Chorus

Round and round the same old wheel

Spinning nowhere that I feel

Chorus

Absurd absurd the whole damn circus

Laughing till the floorboards hurt

Absurd absurd we're all absurd

Tryin' to find a rhyme in the dirt

Verse 2

My neighbor keeps a flock of rubber chickens

He swears they hum when the moon goes thin

I asked the clock what time it really was

It just ticked and gave me a grin

Pre-Chorus

Round and round the same old noise

Chasing shadows with our toys

Chorus

Absurd absurd the whole damn circus

Laughing till the floorboards hurt

Absurd absurd we're all absurd

Tryin' to find a rhyme in the dirt

Bridge

Maybe the point is there's no point at all

Maybe the fall is part of the climb

I'll paint my shoes a shade of nonsense

And lose my map one more time

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Absurd absurd the whole damn circus

Laughing till the floorboards hurt

Absurd absurd we're all absurd

Tryin' to find a rhyme in the dirt
