While All The While

Get out of bed, go downstairs I put the TV on to catch the morning news The furnace kicks on, I put my clothes on Open up the curtains and let the sun shine through I put my coffee in the console, get stuck at the light While all the while, you're still on my mind I see your work friend, I give him a smile We both lie and say we should have a drink sometime I eat a piece of cake, its somebody's birthday I go back to my desk, look out the window for a while At the smokers down on South Street, waiting around to die While all the while, you're still on my mind While all the while, the sun sets in the West While all the while, the moon moves the tides While everyone else goes on with their lives I'm going on with mine I take the long route, I drive by the high school I go see Mama, get her out for a while And in the hallway, and those old picture frames There's a kid with a smile just like mine And she asks how I'm doing, I say I've been fine While all the while, you're still on my mind Hell's freezing over, the whole world's on fire While all the while, you're still on my mind
