We’re all gypsies in a chair
Moving from this one to that over there
Who really owns it when nobody’s here?
It’s hardly worth fighting over
Yet so hard to share
We’re all breathing this air
Filled with electrics call it atmosphere
Is that where I find them, Jesus and Buddha
Is there such a thing as answer to prayer?
I don’t know
I understand nothing
I’m finding my way
Searching for answers to explain this life
I’m beyond 20 something
Still haven’t a clue
When I’m wrong or I’m right
We’re all gypsies in a chair
Resting our bones
To console this despair
Waiting on someone while
Drowning in beer
Feeling self conscious
Just me sitting here
Who’s coming next
Where have they been
Who has the answers
Where am I going
Where do we go in the end?
