♫Mr. Someone♫

I had other songs ready to go, but this one got written a few hours ago and seemed more in line with today's post. It feels like the muse was compressing what I said into a song.

Lyrics=

Well, Mr Someone that I’ve never met

I’m not the bookie you owe for the bet

I’m not the ghost at the top of the stair

Did I ever tell you how much I don’t care?

Hey, Mr. Someone, I don’t know at all

Do you have a therapist that you can call?

You don’t like my words? Was it something I did?

You don’t like my face, or the cut of my jib?

I’ve been here before, and I’ll be here again.

Nobody gets famous by practicing Zen

Tell me what can I do

to make things right with you?

Should I change my name?

Should I up my game?

Are you a rational sort...

Are you batshit insane?

It turns out that I am a pretty nice guy

What did you say? No, I can’t tell you why

It’s a light in the water or maybe the air

that makes me so hot and, you know, debonair

You know, whatever it is

that you don’t like in me

Is a projection of you

how you think I should be

You look in the mirror

don’t like what you see

I’m not the reason

that you aren’t free

Oh! This will not do

This will not do

We’re not the same,

and I am not you

Did somebody touch you when you were quite young?

Are you one of those bells in the night that got rung?

Were you singing a tune, and instead you got sung?

You thought you’d hang out, but instead you got hung?

I wish I could help you get out of your head

Would you prefer a drink or a blowjob instead?

Do you need a hug and a friend by your side,

someone you like, who’s along for the ride?

Tell me what can I do

to make things right with you?

Should I change my name?

Should I up my game?

Are you a rational sort...

Are you batshit insane?

Look, Mr Someone, somewhere in the dark

It’s not my fault if you can’t make your mark

Famous and rich are a dangerous game,

and the final results are always the same

It’s not my fault; life went sideways on you

What can I say? What can I do?

The prosthetics are hung by the chimney with care,

cause maybe St. Nick will come down the stair

or appear at the door or walk through a wall

Christmas is coming. Let’s unwrap it all.

I know why you’re angry, but I’m not the cause

The rats in the pudding are not Santa Claus

They are here to destroy everything that is good

They hate love and mercy. They hate brotherhood.

Pull up a chair, and I’ll tell you the truth

about love and fear and the fountain of youth.

The swimmers are trapped in the chains of the sea

I’m not the lifeguard. The problem’s not me

Tell me what can I do

to make things right with you?

Should I change my name?

Should I up my game?

Are you a rational sort...

Are you batshit insane?

So long, Mr. Someone that I’ve never met

It’s what you don’t do that you come to regret

The people in stir hate the ones who are free

You’re a hostage to fortune. You can’t blame me

So long, Mr. Someone says no one at all

If you’re ever in town, well, give me a call

We’ll hit some clubs and drink until dawn,

and then, Mr. Someone, I will be gone.

And then, Mr. Someone, I will be gone.
