My Own World

I was living and breathing and sitting quite quietly
 Watching the TV and minding my diet
 While I moved from my desk on to my treadmill
 And I tried to move mountains or nothing but molehills
 So what do you want to interrupt me for, girl?
 Leave me in my own world, own world
 I was checking the scores and cutting out coupons
 Reading the papers and trying to regroup
 I had just gotten over the snows of December
 Further out beyond, I don't want to remember
 So don't interrupt me, girl
 Leave me in my own world, own world
 I was taking my pulse and writing a diary
 Looking at foods for their dates of expiry
 And quietly checking the corners of rooms and then
 Coming back in and checking again
 A noise in a distance, a rumble or murmur
 Some little earthquake upsets terra firma
 Now I'm looking behind me, I'm checking my rearview
 Everything ancient is suddenly brand new
 And cliches have taken on a
 Shocking new meaning
 But the snows have come back
 And our teeth still need cleaning so
 What do you want to interrupt me for, girl?
 Leave me in my own world
 Own world own world own world
