I woke up today looking like a disaster
Looking at you looking at me where do we go from here?
Finding a place, making a time, make it faster
Writing a log of all your hopes and fears

and dear-- I know it's not the time (not the time)
For useless jokes and rhymes (jokes and rhymes)
I find it all a mess (all a mess)
My heart is cut and set--

I drove into town, found a sign "this is the exit"
Drove in too deep, the edge was steep, where do I go from me?
Show me a place, make me a dime, part of the "big list"
You're all the same and that's what I fear

and dear-- I know it's not the time (not the time)
For written communal fines (likely lines)
It's new with every fret (every fret)
My heart is cut and set--

Someone-- Call the doctor
I'm getting to be a natural disaster
It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt
I'll stab you with my pen on the back of your new t-shirt..
A natural disaster
A natural disaster
A natural disasterrrrr..

and dear-- I know it's not the time.
For clever jokes and rhymes
I find it all a mess
My heart is cut and set.
