I don't know if I'm cracking up or just getting careless, is this room quite airless?
Just a minute, listen, did you hear that knock on the door?
I'm going to have to write things down before I forget them
I can't find my glasses, I don't know where I left them
So I can't expect to get much on the visionary score, or did I say all that before?
Oh, stop me if you've heard this one before I get started
I can't find my mobile and I didn't charge it, it's a phantom target
If I call myself I'll only get my voicemail once more
I wish that I could pin things down before they escape me
I can't find my car keys and it seems that lately
I have trouble even fitting them into the front door, or did I say all that before?
Oh, stop me if I'm banging on, trying to grab your attention
I forget to mention I can't find my glasses
But I think I bent them when I dropped them as I scrabbled for my phone on the floor
It seems I can't, I can't remember, I can't remember what I'm doing
It seems I can't, I can't remember, I can't remember what I'm doing
Although I flash that foolish grin that seemed so winning when I came in
I'm beginning to see everything we've been is going to be forgotten
It's not a joke, or did I say that all before I spoke?
It's not a joke, or did I say all that before I spoke?
I can't find myself, what I'm looking for, and I've lost the thread of what I said before
