if nature sold herself on layaway
with a little down
I would be the first in line
to buy myself a sound
a waterfall a tidal wave or a beating of the drums
a heavy wind a thunder or a falling of the leaves
and I would proclaim
I'm the new proprietor of a sound
in a press conference held
downtown
when the people would look at me
in this state I would simply tell them this
at least you'll have someone to blame for
ruining your weekend
I would play mother nature
unlease my sound at will
no more sitting and waiting
on this quite window sill
if I feel like love
I will shake the trees
if I'm consumed in lonliness then
I will drop the leaves
and I would proclaim
I'm the new proprietor of a sound
in a press conference held
downtown
when the people would look at me
in this state I would
simply say outright
at least you have someone
to blame for scaring
the children in the night
what if I call for a waterfall
some light rain
and some other owner calls
for a massive hurricaine
we'd have to be responsible users
and respect the rules of God
I'll just take a load off and
have to buy them all
and I would proclaim
I'm the new proprietor of a sound
in a press conference held
downtown
when the people would look at me
in this state I would
simply say
at least you have someone
to blame for a near perfect day
