Distractions (Pt. 1) - Bobby Darin

I’m sitting by the window trying to write a song

Gotta do another album before too long

Girl across the alley comes up with no clothes on

Well I try not to look in fact I turn away

Gotta concentrate on what I have to say

After all ideas is what this boy grows on

Too many distractions, making infractions

On my mind on my time ho hum

Now I’m relaxing in a trailer inbetween shows

I like to know what the late news knows

But their running the same war they had on last evening

So I get up off the couch and I change the channel

There’s a group of broke girls setting on a panel

Telling each other the war is something they don’t believe in

Too many distractions making subtractions

On my mind waste my time

Now I love to get away so I go up to the current

Put my pole in the water let my neck get burnt

Waiting for trout and getting next to nature

But then I hear a giggle and it becomes a laugh

A woman of forty wants my autograph

So I sign an old napkin and she says I used to hate ya

Too many distractions false retractions

Guilty minds trying to turn kind

Ho hum

Now I’m sleeping on the porch overlooking the lake

The screen door opens now I’m awake

3 sillouettes ask me if a want to join a party

I’m kinda half asleep so I think it’s a joke

But I follow the smell of the sweet and sour smoke

There on the floor is tom kate and marty

Too many distractions making bad reactions
