****
My mother is dead
My children don’t let me sleep
The money’s a problem
On perpetual repeat
My wife is angry
My lover’s upset
So I take a shower
And let the hot water fall
A waste of water
Is no waste at all
The hotter the better
I’m at home in the steam
I suspend all decisions
With seven types of cream
I don’t speak the language
In the city I live
I once followed a girl
Now I’ve ended up here
The weather is freezing
And I’ve figured it out
Blondes lead you North
Brunettes take you South
So make sure your lover
Comes from a sunny place
I take a shower
And let the hot water fall
A waste of water
For my wasted heart
Hotter than most can handle
You’re welcome to try
The old systems fail
Those I honed all my life
The war keeps on going
No one knows what for
A hundred years of trauma
Lead to a hundred more
Another madman in power
Cause only madmen seek power
Their eternal revenge
That time you laughed in the shower
Everyone is depressed
Everyone is displaced
We used to be together
Now we’re all over the place
I always sought newness
Now I’m retracing my steps
Seeking what’s familiar
Scattered over continents
Life without a mother
Just isn’t the same
My loyal protector
Now a bag of grain
I wish I could call her
Miss her voice and her smile
I take a shower
And let the hot water fall
A waste of water
For my soul’s recall
Just beyond the bathroom
Could be my childhood home
Being an only child
Means that you mourn alone
