my swivel chair

at least i'll be able to stand up
i've been sitting down for hours now
in one room that doesn't change
can't tell the difference between night and day
movements are what my legs desire
my tail is the only thing tired
from swiveling around in a chair
for hours and hours and hours

i want to run twenty miles
bike fifty more
climb a pile of rocks
then jump off into the ocean
swim across the globe
then cool down with a stretch
but all i can do is spin
in my swivel chair
all i can do is spin in circles
in my swivel chair

I'll swivel my way into the ground
and pop out somewhere in China
only to find all the Chinese men
swiveling around just the same
we are a world of people in swivel chairs
rolling all over the place
sometimes when we have nothing to do
we switch to our rolley chairs and race

I want to run twenty miles
bike fifty more
climb a pile of rocks
then jump off into the ocean
swim across the globe
then cool down with a stretch
but all i can do is spin
in my swivel chair
all i can do is spin in circles
in my swivel chair
