sittin' on the ceilin' feelin' down

every time i write lyrics for a song, they come out like this, which is why you'll never see a "bob's greatest hits" cd.

i'm sittin on the ceilin feelin down,

yeah, since she left my world turned upside down

now i really should get up but i'm too afraid of comin down

and my mind is really reelin as i'm sittin on the ceilin feelin down

 

i'm just sittin here drinkin my cracklin rose

but every time i take a swig, you know, it dribbles up my nose

that's just the way it goes

when you're sittin on the ceilin feelin down

with nothin else to do but hang around

 

oh, i just sit here

and choke back a tear

and do my best impression of a

chandelier

but wait..... now i see!!!!

i'ts so clear to me....

the situations simply lost

its gravity

 

so i'm sittin on the ceilin feelin high

i think i'll climb out the window and fall

up through the sky

at least i think i'll try

and there's nothin left to say

except bye bye

Oh my God hahaha I LOVED THESE!!!!!! That was too cute! It was so sad and pitiful while being hilarious and totally contradictory!! These are by far my favorite lyrics that I've read today, hehe!! Awesome!!

Bob, I need a dose of you every day!

This piece is perfect. Loved the menancholy and the pace. Began like a country song and just got better and better.

Crazy, crazy and wonderful! You really do take the biscuit and the laurel crown when it comes to writing like this .. somehow, in spite of the lightheartedness of it, I want to know the emotion of being a chandelier .. a lesson not to be learned perhaps.

Great fun, great meter .. wonderful!

What a great way to start a Monday, than with a witty, well written piece.

I could see my friends at the smoky blues club I visit singing this..Really a great poem and the backbone of a song..:-)

This is so witty and funny. I love it!
