lyrics

a hundred miles from the tropics
and I blame them
for my memory
it's not that I don't care
just don't remember
I'm praying for November
to take this brick out of my brain

a hundred miles from the tropics
and I blame them
for my lethargy
I've never loved sleep this much
my fantasies of discipline have been scotched
and I'm no longer the boss of my body

(Chorus)
my girl, my wife
she's coming home at midnight
she's gotta listen to this
my girl, my wife
she's coming home at midnight
I think that I oughtta
keep it to myself
I really think I oughtta
keep it to myself

a hundred miles from the tropics
and I blame them
for my visibility
every day I meet eyes
with mild suprise
and then the reputations
of outcasts, opportunists and other aberrations

(Prechorus)
And I don't mean to complain
but it's weighing on my brain

SOLO
