Appointment in Samarrah

When the club members cut you loose
When you smiled at their indiscretions
Did you dream of taking the reins of the stampeding elephant?
Or is it easier to be lazy?
And to avoid all confrontation
So you hop in the van
And stake your claim to the career

While you were hanging on for dear life
Throw me off the side
It just ain’t worth the vibe
And you make it up as you’re going
Pretending that you know what’s right

Taking this speed is gonna make you feel good
It’ll lift you right out of the sand trap
Pretty pictures in your froth
You’re no longer coming off like a madman
You can repeat the same worn out stories (a Mirage can be fatal, you might not be able
With no water there may be no way back)
Include your superiors in your celebrations
Your PA goes out on a limb you learn to give her vacation
