Lyrics

[Verse 1] Tried some bad meditation, sittin' up in the dark They say to picture an island, 'cause that's one place to start I guess I could count my blessings, I don't sleep in the park With all my earthly possessions in one old shopping cart [Chorus] No, I'm up in the penthouse On a big feather bed Is it too late to fixate On that instead? [Verse 2] My wife takes a vacation, one she can't afford I go fishin' the alleys for someone to escort No, I don't mind the money, it beats bettin' on sports And though it might get expensive, it's cheaper than divorce [Chorus] And I love her torn stockings And her lipstick of red Is it too late to fixate On her instead? [Bridge] "You know you're my favorite" She says when we're through Some parts are off limits But I'd give them to you [Verse 3] Where the hell was Dock Ellis when I gave up that hit? Where was Timothy Leary when reality bit? Who's the new Dalai Lama, that shy little kid? With no room in his body where a stranger could live [Chorus] I can't blame him for dreamin' He'll sleep when he's dead Is it too late to fixate On that instead? Is it too late to fixate On that instead?
