Discipline

[Verse 1] Discipline Hanging on by a drawing pin Can't seem to plan anything These days with-out a script Discipline Finds me in the state I'm in I can't lose I can't win these days [Chorus 1] When time will drip into a great big bowl That then gets mixed Like the ingredients of a cake I find myself so transfixed on the time That it's going to take to bake [Verse 3] Discipline I wish I could shed my skin Find another to get in these days without a shape Discipline Could be to me my everything Be the bell that I will ring these days [Chorus 2] When life slips like a plate Fate is just the fence I'm leaning on Nothing to do all day What will I do when the fence is gone Will I get blown away, some day? [Verse 4] Discipline Could give me the very thing That the bee gives with its sting These days when success is shy Discipline Put my heart in-to a sling Bury my head beneath your wing These days [Chorus] That seem to fly, temper the tongue That wags just like a tail That will in turn wag the dog How far can I go from beyond the pale Before I fall from the log, whole hog [Verse 5] Discipline Wound up like a bedstead spring Taking each day as it begins These days I can't complain Discipline Could be to me my everything Be the bell that I will ring these days When life spins like a plate Fate is just the fence I'm leaning on Having nothing to do all day What will I do when the fence is gone Will I get blown away, some day? Discipline, ooooh....oooooh Discipline, ooooh....oooooh
