Next Stop
from Fun Escape by JH Sounds
lyrics
next stop, drudgery
all of this week, right down this street
next stop, following
sadness repeats, seeking reprieve
same route, same routine
riders I greet, flashing my teeth
big smile, hides the gloom
inside of me
oh the mindless toils of living day to day
like an endless coil, going round and round
Work and work, but you're back at the beginning
to and fro, like it matters much at all
when we grind, it is such a fruitless effort
loop and loop, like a hamster in a cage
oh this route is the same one i've been hitting
years ago, when I started on this path
deviations strictly are forbidden
a simple maze, I know I'm just a rat
at dawn, set out straight
and take a right
at dusk, head on home
done for the night
all of this week, right down this street
next stop, following
sadness repeats, seeking reprieve
same route, same routine
riders I greet, flashing my teeth
big smile, hides the gloom
inside of me
oh the mindless toils of living day to day
like an endless coil, going round and round
Work and work, but you're back at the beginning
to and fro, like it matters much at all
when we grind, it is such a fruitless effort
loop and loop, like a hamster in a cage
oh this route is the same one i've been hitting
years ago, when I started on this path
deviations strictly are forbidden
a simple maze, I know I'm just a rat
at dawn, set out straight
and take a right
at dusk, head on home
done for the night
