lyrics

I've been doing the dishes,
And folding the clothes,
I've been washing the windows,
But no one would know,
It's a bohemian disorder,
Euphemism for a mess.

I've been reading the bios,
Of poets and whores,
I've been chasing the muse,
In the great outdoors,
But I'm coming up empty,
Strumming the same old chords.

Reasons to
Take a trip past the borderline,
Put the top down and cruise,
Under the light of the moon,
The radio tunes,
Blaring beyond the borderline,
With you in my view,
And suddenly I can't lose.

It's getting cold in Chicago,
I can't feel my toes,
Never one for the winter,
It hardens my soul,
And yet I choose to live somewhere,
Where I gotta shovel the snow.

I'll be working for bosses,
Until I get old,
I'll be paying my taxes,
Can't live like Thoreau,
I might be stuck doing something,
That I don't like at all.

Reasons to
Take a trip past the borderline,
Put the top down and cruise,
Under the light of the moon,
The radio tunes,
Blaring beyond the borderline,
With you in my view,
And suddenly I can't lose.
