LAKE ~AFFECT

 

I don’t wanna’ get to work on time

All I ever seem to do is wine

Cuz I’ve eaten up my credit line

Why don’t ya’ call it the lake ~affect

 

I forget about paying my bills

If they come I’d better head for the hills

Ya’ I could use a few grown up skills

Why don’t ya’ call it the lake ~affect

 

It’s just the lake ~affect

Waiting to take affect

It’ll make your life a wreck

It’ll make you crazy

Oh, it’s a bad disease

Drop ya’ right to your knees

Make you forget about realities

Call it the lake ~affect

 

No, I haven’t paid my income tax

Since my last job gave me the axe

Around the water you can cover your tracks

You can call it the lake ~affect

 

I been living on baloney and beer

Getting by is my only career

I’m just letting all my days disappear

Ya’ you can call it the lake ~affect

 

(chorus)

It’s a modern day love affair

With the water and the cool night air

Make ya’ feel like ya’ just don’t care

Call it the lake ~affect

 

Sometimes late at night when I go out walking

I hear people talking

All their trash about me

Oh, and yes I’m going through another middle life crisis

With too many vices and not enough normality

 

I can’t afford to put gas in my boat

It don’t matter cuz’ my boat can’t float

I ran aground and that was all she wrote

And you can call that one the lake ~affect

 

Hey buddy can ya’ spare some cash

So that I can get rid of this rash

Ya’ shouldn’t pick up dock trash

You can call it the lake ~affect

 

(chorus…repeats)
