The Devil's Mind is an Idle Playground

Usually I hit the presets on the way in to work. Sports, classical, news or one of the local monkey freakshow morning stations. Unless I'm craving something different, then I just let a CD play.

Occasionally, it plays a song I need to hear 4 or 5 times in a row, for whatever reason.

The Great Indoors
John Mayer

Check your pulse
It's proof that you're not listening to
The call your life's been issuing you
The rhythm of a line of idle days

Scared of the world outside you should go explore
Pull all the shades and wander the great indoors
The great indoors

Lamplight makes the shadows play
And posters take the walls away
The TV is your window pane
The view won't let you down

So put your faith in a late night show
I bet you didn't even know
Depends on how far out you go
The channel numbers change

Scared of the world outside you should go explore
Pull all the shades and wander the great indoors

Though lately I can't blame you
I have seen the world
And sometimes wish your room had room for two*

{So go unlock the door}
{And find what you are here for}

Please leave the great indoors
Leave the great indoors

Check your pulse
It's proof that youre not listening to
The call your life's been issuing you
The rhythm of a line of idle days
Of idle days

If you don't have the disk, I highly recommend it. His second one, Heavier Things, as well. Of course, if you use iTunes, you can buy the songs 1 at a time for $.99, or an entire album for 'bout 10 bucks.
