Some people wake up on Monday mornings   Barring maelstroms and red flare warnings   With no explosions and no surprises   Perform a series of exercises      Hold your fire   Take your place around an open fire      Before your neurons declare a crisis   Before your trace Serotonin rises   Before you're reading your coffee grounds   And before a pundit can make a sound   And before you're reading your list of vices   Perform the simplest exercises      So here we are at the end   The war is over   There's nothing left to defend   No cliffs of Dover   So let us put down our pens   And this concludes the test   Our minds are scattered about   From hell to breakfast      Hold your fire   Take your place around an open fire      Before your neurons declare a crisis   Before your trace Serotonin rises   Before you're reading your list of vices   Perform the simplest exercises   Hold your fire   Hold your fire
