Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Greg looks out his fifteenth-story window At the bustling crowds scrambling like insects Crawling over the carcass of the city But he's sitting pretty In imported cars and exclusive bars Where they know him by name And what a brain Top of his class at Harvard Rhodes scholar And card-carrying member of Mensa Olympic fencer Classically handsome With a body to put Michelangelo's David to shame And he looks down And he looks down And he suddenly exclaims My god! My god! My skin is crawling! Take it in stride, Greg You certainly have the legs for it Take it in stride, Greg You certainly have the legs for it Greg drinks his French-pressed coffee black Eats his steaks rare his produce fresh-picked His wine and Scotch of legal drinking age And he's a sage Quoting Kant in perfect German And defying Zeno's paradox With his swift mental leaps mountain-goating from Plato to Foucault He keeps a rigorous social regimen Behind his shiny exoskeleton Of double-edged smiles And polite disinterest Unimpressed as he looks down from his personal Olympus At the dung beetle Sisyphus trying to roll his shit uphill again And he looks down And he looks down And he suddenly exclaims My god! My god! My eyes are bulging! Take it in stride, Greg You certainly have the legs for it Take it in stride, Greg You certainly have the legs for it Greg listens to Strauss in surround sound Waves of timpani break on the ceiling No feeling in the tips of his fingers or his toes Throbbing in his ears and a buzzing in his brain He looks out his fifteenth-story window At the bustling hive of mindless drones Alone on Olympus he's the god of decay He scrabbles on the floor Puts out his feelers Sheds his skin with potato peelers Then rises to look over his domain And he looks down And he looks down And he suddenly exclaims My god! My god! My thorax is swelling! Take it in stride, Greg You certainly have the legs for it Take it in stride, Greg You certainly have the legs for it
