long, long

i spend my time
tryin’ to free my mind
but some ancient disease put a hold on me
i’m a hopeless case
it’s a long, long, long,
long, long time.

your cheerful submission
entrenched my position
we run around, hurry, hustle and worry
it’s a hopeless chase
it’s a long, long, long,
long, long time.

can I please find a sign
within the grand design
of the much anticipated end of time?

it happens every day
it takes all night
it’s the northern lights, it’s the Southern Cross,
it’s the ocean tides
it’s a long, long, long,
it’s a long, long, long,
long, long time.
