PACIFIC & FRANTIC
Laid back and frantic wide awake in want of sleep
Pacific Atlantic tryin to count flyin sheep
Rushed and romantic likes to step away from the street
Pacific Atlantic but he can't afford to miss a beat
He's nappin with his feet tap tappin away
He relaxes in a strait-jacket every day
Every hour he resets his alarm
And dreams of old friends callin him on the farm
I think he'd like to be in Idaho
But he never gets the chance to go
Yeah he'd love to live with the Vermont Maid
But she doesn't follow the hit parade
So he runs and runs and runs and runs
And never gets anything done
He doesn't mean to be this way
So weary and frantic tired and wired
Pacific Atlantic like water and fire
Rushed and romantic only in a game will he compete
Pacific Atlantic but he's so ashamed to miss a beat
He seems hyped up but he's not that way
He might seem kinda lazy but he's not that way
Some think he's a high powered promo man
Others think he's a low-powered parlor fan
He gets sidetracked by every cause while his life is just
A pregnant pause
Sometimes he wants to eat the sky
Sometime he just wants to die
He doesn't mean to be this way
He doesn't mean to seem this way
Nappin with his feet tap tappin away
He's nappin with his feet tap tappin away
Oh he's nappin with his feet tap tappin away
Ooh he's nappin with his feet tap tappin away
Tappin away tappin away tappin away tappin away tappin away tappin away
