Wax Words - It Don't Matter At All

Couldn’t find my head one morning but I walked out just the same

Asked the man for a six-cent stamp but he just couldn’t see my name

I seemed to think that a man without a label’s like a man without a home

So I went back to bed to get it together and my mind began to roam

And I knew when I woke up

It don’t matter at all

I fell asleep and I had a dream that I was searching for peace of mind

So I joined the Salvation Army, yes, and I helped all humankind

I found that life could be sweet and so complete when I jangled my tambourine

I found a way to survive and that God was alive ‘cause the pennies kept comin’ on in

And I knew when I woke up

It don’t matter at all

Well I couldn’t stand much more sorrow

And I couldn’t stand on my own two feet

Would the weather be finer tomorrow?

Were there no more tomorrows to meet?

So I looked for the logical answer

And it came, to my surprise

In the form of a Flamenco dancer

In shabby disguise

My morning mirror told me that a man’s as free as air

So I bought a fifth of whiskey and I poured it in my hair

Now I’ll sell you words of wisdom

While I hallucinate with ease

You can live any way that you wanna live

Yes, and you can die any way that you please

And I knew when I woke up

It don’t matter at all
