Bit of a Crunch

Miles of space and breathing weather

Time goes on and what's the phrase?

Good fortune comes and goes, who knows?

But I'm in a bit of a crunch

Around the hook and up the ladder

To the end but still no way

Give or take, forbeg or borrow

'Cause I'm in a, I'm in a bit of a crunch

You can sign me off before the lease is up

Punch me out without a proper retire

You can ply the papers from an open desk

Or give it to the first one seeking higher ground

Immortality knows time and boredom

Better than a vanishing man

Those self-actualized go dancing

While I'm in a bit of a crunch

You can sign me off before the lease is up

Punch me out without a proper retire

You can ply the papers from an open desk

Or give it to the first one seeking higher ground

You can choose a hat, insist the least of us

Receive your pay before the final minutes

Or you can minimize the distance of the trip

Find something in or down

You can boast about, toast about

While I dance my ghost about
