Your Pretty Packages
Words and Music by Dave Howard
©2015 Upaya Music (SESAC)

You can organize and categorize and visualize
You can make your list and get the gist and pump your fist
You can make your plans and shake some hands and list your demands

But what if they never buy your pretty packages
What if they never buy your pretty packages?
What if nobody wants your pretty packages?

Is it personal or logical or rational?
Is it simplified or glorified or compromised?
Will they understand or make demands or play their hand
when everything can easily be explained?

The illusion of control is like a black hole
Mounting problems fill your mind
Sure to leave no child behind
Even if you find your way
Every leaf turn brown someday

Count your pigeons and your chickens and your Meer cats daddy
Call your midgets and your circus clowns and sisters baby
Have a soda and a cracker and a cobweb for your
after dinner social and your debutante ball.
