Random Thoughts

Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see that it makes no sense at all,
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor,
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

- Stuck in the Middle with You
Stealers Wheel

Great lyrics. I liked it.
