Lyrics
When I walk down the street
Let each step that I take
Be the rote repetition of the route yesterday
With a monotonous cadence and a stultifying sameness
Liberate me, sedate me
Let the finest nuance of my day absolutely not resonate
In lieu of diamonds and mink
Why not think commonplace?
The shirt and shoes I wear tomorrow I wore today
With an alarm clock precision and an unassuming grace
Enlist me, conscript me
Fix the patterns in simple gray so I cannot differentiate
The same cup of coffee
The same dog, the same wife
Reliable revulsion for sticky situations in life
Mediocre aspirations, monochromatic and plain
Humdrum complications in the ordinary vein
Typical tragedies, nothing new nor distinct
Regular pleasures that won't disturb the routine
The trees are green in the summer
Red in the fall
I'd rather there be no variation at all
With a punctual procession of the doppelganger days
Blur me, obscure me
Let a lifetime tick away as I blissfully somnambulate
Take me for granted
As the honeymoon flags
Jointly wallow in a connubial nap
Drag me softly into existential ennui
Do not surprise me
Do not schedule a thing
If you really want me
And you feel this is love
Leave me completely
Stuck in my rut
