A Wealth Of Reasons

Lyrics

We're walking around in a room We're capitalizing the words of a sentence The birds are all landing on you But what right do I have to dance with St. Francis? I'm doing a waltz with a broom And wearing a clip-on noose You've got a wealth of reasons And I'm just a poor excuse The Scrabble set's missing some tiles And outside the raindrops are striking the shutter A letter goes down at a time As if they were feeding the streets of Calcutta You're walking a matter of miles Along the hypotenuse You've got a wealth of reasons And I'm just a poor excuse And I could ruin everything I could ruin everything And I was doing everything I could To make this crowbar stick for good Sometimes iron strengthens wood And bolts get thrown where salesmen stood But I had a foot in your door Some lint on my face and a case full of brushes The only way you could afford To pay was by smiling like someone's last duchess Well, I've felt like Browning before But now I'm a Doctor Seuss You've got a wealth of reasons And I'm just a poor excuse And I could ruin everything I could ruin everything And I could ruin everything I could ruin everything
