    Sweaty Shaky hands
    Haven't slept for two days
    Mind racing
    Body tired
    Head spinning
    Want.To.Retire.
    Finally here in the big city
    Everyone mindlessly carrying about
    Chaos everywhere you look
    Can there really be this much happening?
    It's all an illusion
    Suffering delusions
    Flashes from the drive through the mountains
    Long
    Endless drive
    Beautiful mountains
    Better than the buildings
    Better than the madness
    But the madness is grand
    Too much happening to sit and watch it go
    Sit and watch it go
    Watch it go
    Watch them go
    Lab rats in an endless maze
    Do they ever reach the cheese?
    Is there ever an end?
    Means to an end
    End to the means
    The ways and means
    The great city capitalism built
    I still think the mountains are better

    Yes, that is how I feel in the mountains! All of the madness slowly dissipates...

    I liked it a lot. Reminds me of Bukowski.
