ChiKeyGo

(Metronome ticking.)

I should be driving to Milwaukee

But my keys can't find you

Singing "Lean On Me" in the back of a taxi-cab

Totally helpless and completely unprepared for this

We'll stick it to a city we can call home eventually

I know I seem upset but the mailman can wait

We've held a date, stuffing dollars in a piggy bank

A tape-decked preview of about 6 months from now

To a Logan Square apartment near Peggy's house

Well, talk about culture shock

I've saved up the chords to share

With brothers and sisters from different mothers

In your living room

So, thanks for this metronome

To keep the beat steady in your timezone

And keep a record of the songs I haven't thought of yet

I know I seem upset but the mailman can wait

We've held a date, stuffing dollars in a piggy bank

A tapedecked preview of about 6 months from now

To a Logan Square apartment near Peggy's house

But until then i'll just keep myself busy

Singing with my eyes closed

I'm busy, singing with my eyes closed

I've been busy, singing with my eyes closed
