Tom wrote this when he was vacuuming out a flooded basement in Wisconsin.

lyrics

What a mindless way to waste an afternoon
Just running and screaming and rolling up the loose ends (And tying them off)
I know this town don’t like the look of me,
I see them, they whisper. They’re pointing as I go by.
But something about the scenery
Makes me want to stay till I die.

Cause time is such a valuable commodity.

Wait, it’s all becoming clear.
Why would I write down something even I don’t want to hear?
I guess I knew the answers before I heard the questions,
And now that I can ask them, it’s so much less impressive.

So when do I get callous to disappointment,
Without all the color draining from my eyes?
(And from the skyline)
Well it’s always nice to have a new sidekick,
With seeing and thinking that covers all the spectrum
See the light.
