Simplicity

Climb to the top of the Gracie Pole
Served my time in the capital
Trying to say something relatable
Like, "How are things in general?"
I've got nothing to protect
Except the image I project
Strangers stop and pay respects
Ask me if I've been
Alright
In the pale morning light

The simplicity calls to me

Say it when they tell you they understand
That's your cue to get out while you still can
Cashing out and cancelling all your plans
Now who could blame you?

Dying to own your own property
But National Trust bought the cemetery
Even burning in hell's not a guarantee
No gravity under the apple tree
Twenty degrees in February
You and meteorology
I owe a couple of apologies
Don't ask me if I've been
Alright

In the pale morning light

The simplicity calls to me
Say it when they tell you they understand
That's your cue to get out while you still can
Cashing out and cancelling all your plans
You could bury everything in the sand

Oh, you could probably have whatever you like
But you could never handle the simple life
Oh, you would never settle for just the size
So who could blame you?

Do I look like I'm alright
In the pale morning light?
The simplicity calls to me
Tell 'em I'll call 'em right back
