lyrics

calendar dates lined up in formation
cross one out and another will take its place
lowered your voice to say "this could be my last one"
cause I’m leaving Saturdays open for house hunting
but it’s not like the parade of homes
small talk over deserts on the association
you spill a drop from complimentary cup
wipe it up discreetly with your thumb
the realtor glares take a picture it will last longer

identical days are driving me backwards
follow intuition sheath efficient doubts
your problem is the spitting image you can’t grow out

hauling cans of paint brimming with heavy weight
in a red pickup and your restlessness is unincorporated
"there’s nothing to do in these towns" you say
there’s a secret epidemic and it's coming my way
better watch your back cause it’s gotta last you a lifetime

join the parade that’s driving me backwards
follow intuition sheath efficient doubts
your problem is the spitting image you can’t grow out

identical days are driving me backwards
follow intuition sheath efficient doubts
your problem is the fitting image you can’t grow out

In the yellow taxi turn to me and smile
by Combat Naps

Neal is a superb, innovative songwriter with playful and honest lyricism. He writes and records just about everything and does it in his room with modest tools that put some studio records to shame. Able Baker
