Enlightenment

Don't let yourself into my flat anymore And don't expect that I shall feed your cat anymore Gone are the scintillating chats I adore All you ever do is drone away Spare me your dilemma It's giving me a tremor Registering a ten on my in-flic-tor scale Your story… snory, endless inventory Your daddy never listened and Your mom made you her surrogate Ask your higher power to pay me by the hour When your inner child is sobbing near my plate Get a pacifier, that kid has raised my ire She's not that teeny anymore and you're too late You're digging and mining, one day at a time-ing Yoga, bioenergetics, paganism, mirth Lord, goddess, Buddha, Jesus Neptune, Greenspan, Dionysus Save me from your introspecting, look at me I'm genuflecting Stay the self-absorbed route, I will pull my hair out I can use an incarnational break Your relentless incantations, mantras, revelations Om mani padmi… ho hum… rama lama lama ding dong What is your compunction to dwell on your dysfunction? Your walls are lined with self-help books But you ain't got no self Oh spare me your enlightenment And on your way out… Throw me a beer
