Atmosphere - “Like Today”

lean and awake now I’m ready to commence
spark up the caffeine and nicotine binge
and that’s pretty much the pattern of how the day begins
and I write for an hour, maybe half hour more
then I put on my shoes and grab my key for the door
put my headphones on for this world I ignore
trek down the street towards the record store
“hey, bro - how you doing, anything new today?”
“nah man, how you been? it’s the same old same again”
“well, then I’ll be gone, friend, I’ll see you around”
and I’m out, destination uptown
in the summertime the women wear a lot of skin
and if I sit in one spot I can take ‘em all in
sometimes I even talk, to see if I can make one grin
and if not, yo, it’s cool I ain’t gonna take it personally
from Anne Landers, to Ani DiFranco to Orphan Annie
I love all women, but most of them just can’t stand me
I don’t know, maybe it’s my hair or my clothes
