Balance Lost

I hadn't even opened my eyes
By the time you pulled back the shower curtain
In a minute I heard the car door slam
I knew for certain
We would return by 6pm
And fall down on the bed
With your shoes more broken in
And do it all again

Come one, come all to the average circus
I'm little more than a maverick worker bee
No entry fee, don't know what you'll get
But the show sure as hell ain't free
So come to the average circus
We spend time gathering purposes
To live our lives with no direction
'Cause somebody else drives

The war on television was lost so I
Acquiesced so quietly
Bring myself up to speed
To be immune from spoilers
Supermarket aisles are the new arcades
I watched you waste away
Why wait until tomorrow
When you can buy today

Come one, come all to the average circus
I'm more than a maverick worker bee
No entry fee, don't know what you'll get
But the show sure as hell ain't free
So come to the average circus
We spend time gathering purposes
To live our lives with no direction
'Cause somebody else drives
