lyrics

Little girls preparing for their tests, I suppose
An awful effort, misdirected.
But maybe that's not fair.

The world adopts new tones and hues
where thoroughfares collide -
Why do I care - I need to get moving - why do I care?
Motion is key.

Little ropes serve to secure the boats
I guess.
Their grips often seem tenable.
... Or maybe I meant... tenuous?

I shift my diet more toward fruits
and note
that my nausea subsides.
Why do you care if I eat like a man or what man could be?
...That's not what I mean.

Little. Emitters. De-tect what I’m doing
and even know when I’m done.
Give me a week in a satellite - that would be...

Fascinating.

(And yes, it would also be, “Fun,”
But you knew that.)

Why do you care? I need to get moving.
Why do I care? I don’t mean to be flippant?
Why do I care?
Why do I care?
Motion is key.
