My Own World

I was living and breathing and sitting quite quietly

Watching the TV and minding my diet

While I moved from my desk on to my treadmill

And I tried to move mountains or nothing but molehills

So what do you want to interrupt me for?

Leave me in my own world, own world

I was checking the scores and cutting out coupons

Reading the papers and trying to regroup

I had just gotten over the snows of December

Further out beyond, I don't want to remember

So don't interrupt me, girl

Leave me in my own world, own world

I was taking my pulse and writing a diary

Looking at foods for their dates of expiry

And quietly checking the corners of rooms and then

Coming back in and checking again

A noise in a distance, a rumble or murmur

Some little earthquake upsets terra firma

Now I'm looking behind me, I'm checking my rearview

Everything ancient is suddenly brand new

And clichés have taken on a

Shocking new meaning

But the snows have come back

And our teeth still need cleaning so

What do you want to interrupt me for?

Leave me in my own world

Own world own world own world
