On the Beach of My Brain

Didn't get to go anywhere again Not since I don't know when Going on a cruise would be so fine But I can only go there in my mind I learned everything I wanted to learn But I didn't earn everything I wanted to earn I've seen what the world has to show I've read from Melville to Thoreau On the beach of my brain, In the sunset of my soul, On a plane or a train In my mind I'm on a roll I'm content to eat a dry dinner roll Or shredded wheat and peaches in a bowl, But you can't trust peaches to be sweet So they're not always good to eat But if you're looking for something sweet A little bit of sugar can't be beat Pour a little milk on top and stir It'll be a blast from the past for sure On the beach of my brain, In the sunset of my soul, On a plane or a train In my mind I'm on a roll If you must have something living In your home through someone's giving You will be forced to learn its care But there are teachings everywhere As soon as you have something to care for You now have something you've got to be there for It's best to have a dog, a cat or some plants A person might not want to listen to your rants On the beach of my brain, In the sunset of my soul, On a plane or a train In my mind I'm on a roll
