the chair

me, the prisoner in this chair
I sit with heart full of despair

can I find the answers anywhere
or is this just my destiny

to live my life so all alone
with no reason to own this phone

cause no one will be calling me
with an answer plain to see 

I felt better for a little while
even managed half a smile

but still the problem's in my way
that brought me to my knees to pray

so tie a rope above the door
and put this chair upon the floor

I'll hang around till I swing no more
my heart cannot go on this way

cruel world good bye
don't let the people see me cry

as I stand in this checkout line 
and buy rope and chair

and a BIG BIG box of Kleenex
