Charlie Dugger - Rockerman Lyrics

I can get along with just about anyone - but myself
Where can I go? no place to flow, there no place else
Stuck in this skin, I'm trapped within and I'm allergic to myself
I'm even bad for my health
I got no other place to go, so i sit here rocking
To and fro, It's always just the same o same o same o same o
Can't I just get along with myself

I'm always moving one foot forward
Then one foot back
An endless loop, security cam
Pointing at a sidewalk crack
The same old scenery, juxtaposing symmetry
The same old view, there is nothing new
You know the same old hat
A frozen stare, recycled air, living sixteen hours a day
Going nowhere in a rocking chair

Sixty rocks a minute stuck in time and space
If it's wasting time I don't think I regret it
All this isolation still I wind it up and spin again
I feel as though I'm living in a cubicle of junkyard tin
I can't escape I'm stitched within
To break these walls a wrecking ball wouldn't even dint it

Get out of bed feet hit the floor
Scratch my head just ten steps more
And I'll be doing what I got up for
Sitting here going nowhere in my rocking chair

Ever since I was a child
I loved the feeling and the motion
Rocking chairs and rocking horses
Just like bobbing in the ocean
Like jumping on a trampoline but not as much intensity
Just a pure and steady stream
Of sheen and clean self manufactured dopamine

My Dr. ask me what I like to do in my spare time
I like to rock oh you play music? yes that too but don't confuse it
I like to rock while I'm rocking but that's just small talk doc
I need a pill something to heal this allergy that makes me ill
What's it cost? don't really care just write the script
And a lifelong guarantee I'll get a refill

Sixty rocks a minute sixteen hours a day
In a year that's thirty-seven million little trips I take
This represents the distance that I've traveled in my room
At this rate I calculate I've been ten times round the moon
I can equate I may make proximity of Venus soon
As I go I would like to say what I like to play
What I like to sing and rhyme while I'm wasting all my time
Sitting right here in my rocking chair

Once upon a time the goose drank wine
The monkey played the fiddle on the sweet potato vine
The vine broke and the monkey choked
And they all went to heaven on a little Billy goat

Once upon a sunny night two dead boys began to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Dr-awed their swords and shot each other
A deaf policeman heard the noise
And came to kill those two dead boys
If you don't believe this lie is true
Ask the the blind man, cause he saw it too
