Van Dyke Parks - Don't Let It Get You lyrics

Lining up the little ducks Before they start to scatter off That bulls eye on a trampoline When jumping from the top story Writing up the words to say Before they try to escape Making up the bed Right before you just get back in it Hoping for a little rest While fighting off your sleeplessness Haunted by the ghost of you Reminds you what you didn't do Oh no, don't let it get you You're coming out You've got the ticket This is the greatest Looking for a crystal ball To tell you why you're better off It's creepy when you hear the things The things you say about yourself And what about everyone else Much more to them than just one's health Hauling all the stuff you have From one place to the other side Humming all the notes you heard In no particular order You can't remember anyone And so it stops and you're undone Oh no, don't let it get you You're coming out You've got the ticket This is the greatest
