Neil Rosengarden: Recordings

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

These were dummy lyrics that I wrote after watching a Phil Donahue show with this nutsy lady who was complaining about how she never had time for herself because she had to take care of her kids. It struck a chord, evidently. I left it alone.

I'M RIDING ON AIR

I'm riding on air
My children were just signed up for day care
They'll love it there
I'm much too busy these days
Now they're out of my hair
Here is summertime my friend
I'll bake a cake to commemorate me
No more distraction I'm finally free
I'll take a course to improve my self-worth
Why did I bother to even give birth?

Was married to Sam
But now I can really see who I am
I'll take it all
The world revolves around me
Any idiot can see
Wash my underwear on key
I'll keep on taking as long as I can
Living and breathing in fantasy land
I will gain power and riches and fame
Every psychiatrist will know my name
