Woodpecker

from My Light True by Englewood

/

lyrics

Speed to the airport, drop off the rental car.
Take the little bus, how can it take so long? It’s not that far.
Made it through security, put my shoes back on.
Made it on the plane, now I’m finally heading home.
Come home to the cats for a quiet break or
I would if it wasn’t for the damn woodpecker.

Newspapers, smart-phones, NPR broadcasters.
I think I could keep up if I moved a little faster.
Pushing by the slow pokes on the BART escalator,
so I don’t miss my train and be 15 minutes later.
Looking forward to home, shutting off, taking a break or
I would if it wasn’t for the damn woodpecker.

It’s driving me crazy, I think I’ll go insane.
Is that pecking inside or outside of my brain?

It’s hard enough to get some quiet in my head.
It’s hard enough to slow down and hear silence instead
of all that noise. I need a quiet space.
The living room, it used to be that place.
It’s driving me crazy, I think I’ll go insane.
Is that pecking inside or outside of my brain?

It’s driving me crazy, I think I’ll go insane.
Is that pecking inside or outside of my brain?
