Reading In Bed

Who's in a bad mood, who's in a taxi?

Turning the clock back, avoiding a fight with this man he is meeting

Stands in the lobby, counting his questions in the neon light

Sinking under the river, sewer line touches the edge of the suburbs

Back to the beach where a family is waiting on rumors of summer

Lay out a blanket, bring something to feed the birds

With all the luck you've had

Why are your songs so sad?

Sing from a book you're reading in bed

And took to heart

All of your lives unled, reading in bed
