I Get Up

Yellow flowers descend on me
The stark horizon I can barely see

Told you I'd take care of us
From winding roads and swarming locusts

I get up, I'll be a useful man
So pay up, a dollar in my hand
Wanderlust, and follow if you can
I get up, show you a useful man

I don't have the riches dear
This money makes the strongest grow in fear

So I'll come to care for us
the blackened chimney cleared of dust
the love we made a pact to keep
from thrones to misled sheep
now all because you said to me
that you don't care if these bills don't get paid

I get up, I'll be a useful man
So pay up, a dollar in my hand
Wanderlust, and follow if you can
I get up, show you a useful, somebody truthful, show you a useful man
