common sense

imagine I would be a child

in a pink cocoon bedspread

imagine I’d go really wild

paint my nails a lurid red

wishful thinking anyway

reckless drinking everyday

I said I would I know I should use common sense

and if you flake I might just fake

a little common sense for real

putting words around a thought

wish I could trade the traits I’ve not

if life has knocked you off your feet

it’s time to get down on your knees

wishful thinking anyway

reckless drinking everyday

I said I would I know I should use common sense

and if you flake I might just fake

a little common sense for real
