You have chosen to become, in the words of C.S. Lewis, "a sensible man".
normal">A Sensible Man
Alarm clock rings coffee brews
Morning paper yesterday’s news
Pet the dog kiss the wife
Got himself a regular life
Used to be he believed
In the pursuit of possibilities
Take the path traveled less
His idea of success
Now it’s all in a box all out of sight
He’s put everything he never did out of his mind
No longer cries for the moon at night
He has become
A sensible man
Eight hours tic toc
Little house big sedan
Two kids mini van
Used to try to want to find
Things of a different kind
Dreamed his life he would spend
Chasing after the rainbow’s end
Now it’s all in a box all out of sight
He’s put everything he never did out of his mind
No longer cries for the moon at night
He has become
A sensible man
Once this kind of life was incomprehensible
Now he’s carvin’ the turkey at the dining room table
He’s runnin’ in place just as fast as he can
He has become
A sensible man
Once this kind of life was incomprehensible
Now he’s washin’ the dishes from the dining room table
He’s runnin’ in place just as fast as he can
He has become
A sensible man
Alarm clock rings coffee brews
Morning paper yesterday’s news
Pet the wife kiss the dog
Another day to pay for opportunity lost
He’s put everything he never did out of his mind
No longer cries for the moon at night
He has become
A sensible man
A sensible man
Such a sensible man
