Nerve Gas in the Wheel House

I’ll come around to my town

Reject the lies of the clowns

Despite my ups or downs

Pursued by the Baskerville Hound,

There’s sinister words in the air

Searching for people who really care

Don’t you people know what’s out there?

Is this really more than you can bare?

But for an estranged spouse

There’s nerve gas in the wheel house,

Thought I understood the rules of the game

Found out that the world is really lame

Sometimes I want to pull back in shame

You can feel the pressure of the strain,

But just for starters

We have a world full of fake martyrs

And Cowards ready for departure

Seems the atmosphere is getting darker,

But for an estranged spouse

There’s nerve gas in the wheel house,

Going back to a space in time

When my troubles weren’t worth a dime

The ladder of success was not that far to climb

When a smile on a child was so sublime,

Please tell me where

I could find a woman who really cares

A patriot who actually dares

A night time devoid of nightmares,

But for an estranged spouse

There’s nerve gas in the wheel house.
