Calm Lyricsby Ordinary Days Cast. From Ordinary Days Calm by Ordinary Days Cast So I am on the 6th train heading uptown to my lit. professors office It’s like light years off of campus don’t ask me why I’m sandwiched in-between this guy who’s literally drooling And some European hipster who, well lets be honest, smells. Woody Allen heard Gershwin in the air when he thought Manhattan Well I’m not so impressed , I hear like Philip Glass at best I spend all my time just trying to get calm But it’s not working Cause my lit professor told me that I’m flunking out of grad. school I was not aware that flunking out of grad. School was a thing But I’m been spending all my savings paying rent and eating pizza Not to mention that this morning I found my dog like, died, I don’t remember the Muppets getting hives When they took Manhattan But my own diagnosis says I’m creeping toward psychosis Cause I cannot find a place to get Calm It’s really hard you know I tried to take up yoga But you’ll be surprised how many folks don’t think deodorant is Zen I even saw a life coach who told me I should breathe Just breathe But every time I took in a breathe I visualized that life coach’s death She’s having brunch at cafÈ Pierre And she’s choking And choking And choking And finally she’s calm I’m sorry Anyway, my lit. professor told me that my thesis on Virginia Woolf Is dangerously close to winding up an incomplete I tell him what I’m working from is not so much a thesis But the fact that she went crazy And that seems well, apropos My professor just tosses back his head And a dry Manhattan I’m wondering which will him quicker The big apple or the liquor When suddenly I panic And I tell myself I must get someplace Calm I up and run toward Penn station like I swear my head was ready to blow And I hop a train to Jersey Just as fast as any person can go Then 90 minutes out I get off at some provincial hamlet I’ve never heard of There’s a real estate office right on the block I can afford a two bedroom I go into shock I think, what the heck I write a check Cause there’s sunlight, and closets, and laundry But mostly it’s calm Calm Calm Calm Calm Really calm Strangely calm Like times square at five A.M. calm Like totally freak me out calm Like I’m gonna slowly go crazy and throw myself over the balcony calm Damn it So I tear up my deposit And I head back to Penn station But of course the subway’s broken So I walk four miles home And like 14 hours later I get back to my apartment With my crazy spastic roommates And a room ,well, of my own I’ve got this black and white poster on my wall that says “my Manhattan” And I give it the finger But I let my gaze linger And I notice how the buildings line up perfectly in rows And how the city has been planned and how the city planning shows And suddenly I’m stuck with this bizarre old inspiration To like find a real solution and fix my model desolation I sit on my bed And I realize I’m finally calm [Thanks to Anita for lyrics] [Thanks to Ruby for corrections]
