Costco and Hockey

from The Nap Heard Round The World by Al Murb

/

lyrics

Costco trips are my only form of social time right now.
Not that I’m blaming anyone but me.
Babies keep staring at me every time that I walk by.
Do they see something I don’t?
Should I laugh at the racist logo on the Asian rice?
Or should I be outraged?
I’ll probably laugh so those babies think I’m nice.
Because babies like smiles.
Don’t they?

Because babies like smiles
I think.
Right?

Lately I’ve been wanting to get into hockey.
But my tongue can’t keep up with Europe.
Maybe if I smile more that’s exercise.
Or is it a frown that uses more muscles?
I can’t remember.

Walking in this sprawling warehouse
What if the apocalypse happened now?
Am I agile enough to climb up stacks of toilet paper?
And am I willing to do so just to stay alive?
And am I willing to live up in the rafters
Just because I’m terrified of falling more than I am terrified of heights?
Maybe if worse just comes to worse
The sample lady’s beehive hair is soft enough to break my fall.

My legs are shaking just thinking about it all.
However I die, I just hope I don’t drown or fall or burn.
But we can’t always get what we want.
We were never asked for our opinions by our urns.
