I'm flipping between Steve Earle's "Guitar Town" and matt pond pa's "A Well of Tires". I'm more playing them in my head really loud with intermittent humming along than singing or constantly humming. I don't think I'm gonna like going without coffee. I also find myself ending off every conversation I'm having with "GI JOE!" inside my head. I hope I don't say that out loud here at work.

I am a patient boy
I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait
My time is like water down a drain
Everybody's moving,
Everything is moving
Please don't leave me to remain
In the waiting room
I don't want the news
I'm not a part of it
I don't want the news
I have no use for it
Sitting outside of town
Everybody's always down
Because... they can't get up
But I don't sit idly by
I'm planning a big surprise
I'm gonna fight for what I want to be
I won't make the same mistakes
Because I know how much time that wastes
Function is the key
In the waiting room
