It’s 2025!

This is pretty self-explanatory.. To the music, “Chain of Fools” played by my 1st ex-husband and still a friend today:)
Dirty Dom Daniels (His stage name:) who has has never lost his wicked guitar:)
Turn it up..Dance!!

It’s better to Be Bop than to cry:)
Please listen and here are the words if you want to translate them…. but The Recording is more fun:)

It’s 2025!

Good morning sunshine
I can hardly wait to see
what new eye rolling insanity
you have for me.

Boppin’ down the highway of my day,
shaking my head from side to side
everything I see or hear
convinces me to hang on tight.
This is going to be
one big bump of a ride
into the longest night

While the chorus line in my head
keeps repeating..
You got to be kidding!?
When did reality rock and roll?
It used to be as steady as a  cement poll
but lately, oh boy .. you just never know.

Not even Dalí directed by Fellini
could conjure up  these whiplash scenes
of this surreal sitcom series
that everyone is watching like a car crash
you can’t stop seeing
I’m always light-headed
vertigo comes over me,
every time I  connect to the net
or watch TV.

Good morning sunshine,
glad you’re still coming over the hill
just like you did yesterday
and the day before
I don’t think there are any givens anymore
Just feels like we are all racing
to somewhere we’ve never been before..
I’m getting open mouth syndrome
and my jaw is in locked position
and my my poor strained eyes,
from rolling them day and night.

Boppin down the highway of my day,
shaking my head from side to side
everything I see or hear
convinces me to hang on tight.
This is going to be
one big bump of a ride
into the longest night
you know what I’m talking about ???
It’s 2025
