Home and Bored (music by Paul Simon, lyrics definitely not)


I'm sitting staring at my toes
In an hour I may watch my nose
On my floor I see some dirt
And there's some lint upon my shirt
And every thought fits in my hand
For the outside world to me is banned

Home and bored I know I am
Home and bored
Home, where everything's annoying
Home, where the tv show is cloying
Home, where I realize I'm boring
I've got no place to be

Everyday's the same to me
I've got nothing else to see
And every night laying in my bed
I'm counting sheep inside my head
You're really baa-d I think they said
It's Groundhog Day my brain has fled

Home and bored I know I am
Home and bored
Home, where everything's annoying
Home, where the tv show is cloying
Home, where I realize I'm boring
I've got no place to be

Tonight, I will pretend to read 
But all the words I barely see
And each room's closing in on me
But there is nowhere I can flee
And so I get down on my knees
And pray that one day soon I'll be

Not home and bored for now I am
Home and bored
Home, where everything's annoying
Home, where the tv show is cloying
Home, where I realize I'm boring
But there's nowhere else to flee
I've got no place to be
To be......

A good laugh to wake up to!
Thanks.
I've been doing spring cleaning in my nonworking free time. I never thought I would find cleaning out closets and rubbing down counters so uplifting.

On the point. Tomorrow I'll find the music online and sing your lyrics while I continue to discard "important" papers I haven't seen in over 10 years
