A contemplative album rock song, subtle, with just a little bit of an edge. Lyrics/Music/Singing/Playing/Panhandling/Arranging/Recording: Tom O'Brien

I was reading a Conde Nast Travel magazine in a waiting room, reading about al these adventures that I would never take, and then thought of all the homeless in my town and the great chasm that exists between classes.

I was reading in the pages of a trael magazine Considering a journey To a place I'd never been Where I could wash an elephant In a clear Sri Lankan stream Or richly tip a driver Whom I'd never see again But there doesn't seem to be a grand design And I think I need another cardboard sign I rather like the furnishings In the room where Dali stayed And from the bedroom window I could watch the grand parade And how I'd fume and fuss When my room service was delayed They'd better be damned sure When I return my bed is made I wish I had some leather and some glue To fix the hole that I've got in my shoe I must ask the concierge Where one can have tuxedoes pressed And can he recommend a place To buy my wife a brand new dress? And maybe a massage to relieve Any undue stress In an afternoon oasis Where we all can get some rest You know I'm down a little on my luck I've got a dime, but can you spare a buck? x
