Once around the sun again
One long day until the end
First things first, we rise and fall
The sun doesn't do a single thing at all
But hang out holding down the universe
The furnace firmly at the center
Sending heat and light to all its renters
Who in turn both praise and curse its birth
There's no shortage of abundant hope
All ye who enter
Just a mortgage note with your lifetime to pay
Your loan alone for one long day
One long day's enough to last a lifetime
And one lifetime's roughly rounded down to one long day
Now my plan's to have as many
Mini-misadventures as I can
I'd like to think that that's every man's plan
Before that R.T.D. that's out to get you and me
Hypothetically ventures its way across the median
I pledge allegiance to comedians who stand up
To liberate the public's state
Adjust us, all invertebrates for one long day
One long day of shucking and gyrating
Stuck in gravity, brevity, and haste
All the world's five stages in one play-date
I'm reminded when I'm wide awake
We're delivered then sent on our way
'Til then, time is on our backs for one long day
Something in the seething vortex
Of my cerebral cortex exists
It seems to help me correlate
And put perspective into context
How my nervous wrecks, rubber checks,
And unprotected sex hasn't sealed my fate
Life seems easier broken up in bite-size pieces
To reach some peace and cease
This sleepless one long night of the one long day
Once around the sun again
One long day until the end
All of us are equally created
For the future all of us create
Here's the feature
No second acts or sequels
So get your credits in order for one long day
Once around the sun again
One long day until the end
