The Yak

Sitting in my blue chair
Looking at the TV
Looking at the posters on the paneled wall
Who put the stickers up on the ceiling?
Sitting in my blue chair waiting for the start
Wonder where I'll go tonight
Sitting in my blue chair
Where will it take me?
I'm looking at the wall
Say hello to Jerry
Say hello to Jim
Will I get to talk to you?
And ask you where you've been?
I think it feel it coming
I'll know when it's here
It's like a door coming out a window
It's like a window coming out a door
They ask us why we do it
We ask them why they care
Once the yak is running
Then you'll know your there
I say hello to Jerry
I say hello to Jim
I ask them how they're doing
And how their trip began
Watching all the TV
On the Christmas tree
See the horses running
They're running just for me
Watching all the faces
In this open house
Watching them watch me
Looking at the ceiling
The yak is chasing me down
