Amazing things can happen when you let yourself not care so much
When you let yourself stand among the rest not being worst or being best

Find yourself that special pill that makes you feel a better man
Walking taller strolling smartly being confidently who I am

Shades of purple start the day as shadows stretching flee the sun
The morning comes and life erupts the gong has rung the day’s begun

Passing by the others as they go about keep droning on
Hurriedly accomplishing their tasks and chores and time goes on

Like a pinball bouncing ‘round among the forces of the day
Unerring in my trajectory scoring big along the way

Pharmaceutical amendments to my otherwise imperfect self
Enable me to be among the freaks and morons surrounding me

Then to home and solitude to share the stories of my day
The dog attends me listens to me say the things I need to say

Dinner on the patio the view of sunset bold and bright
The colors changing rapidly the kaleidoscopic play of light

As darkness falls I find myself immersing in a virtual world
Never caring what is said or done because it isn’t real

A pill or two to help me off and on my way to never never land
I close my eyes lay on my side and wait for him to bring me sand
