Stable

from Quite Contrary by Old Man Mike

lyrics

When I was living in a house
Was very nice
Was something else, round my side
You were something else
You were something else

Living in a house
Keys on the table
Never wanted nothing
Except for a stable

But it's something else now
And I don't know what it is

Living in a house now
Don't know where it is
Could be round the corner
Could be on the street
Don't know where it is now
But I really like that place
People come around now
Talk to my face

Looking for a stable
Somewhere to go
Something nice and dry now
Out of the snow and
Somewhere to rely on
Somewhere to call my own
But I keep bouncing
Back into this zone

Looking for a stable
Haven't found it yet
What I'm going to get now
Thinking about something else
Listen to you all now
Don't know what you mean
But you mean something

This is the stable
We live inside
Never wanted nothing
Except for a life to live
And if we live it
Can we also die it?
But inside this stable
There is no room for doubt

Welcome to the stable
Hope you enjoy
Stay for a while now
Sit inside
There's room for plenty
Especially for you
If you don't want to
You don't have to do

I thought it was funny in my 20's, because everyone else was tiny and lil and baby. And those will get old quick. But Old Man Mike is ready made history: timeless ... more
