Andy's Song

I ride my bike to work every morning
I ring my bell, (ding ding!) and make sure my helmet's tight
At every turn, I issue a warning;
This arm is for left, and this arm is for right!
At the red light, a Toyota pulls beside me
The pretty woman inside, it gives a smile!
That happy grin is enough to provide me
With total satisfaction for a long, long while!

And I don't have a car, because of pollution!
So completely not 'cause I'm much too scared to drive!
I've gotten pretty far in my evolution
And I don't need a lot to be totally alive!

I tuck my polo shirt in my Levis
'Cause it looks SHARP!
Okay?
And it makes me feel secure
How come every person I receive tries to tell me I need "something more"?
I mean, come on, what for?!

I don't need a girlfriend, I got a goldfish!
She needs my attention, 'cause she is nearly five!
I don't have a secret dream, or some bold wish
And I don't need a lot to be totally alive!
I'm fine with what I've got, I feel totally alive!

I got a Captain Kirk action figure, in the original packaging I've had since I was ten, it's true!
I'd never open it or shake it, too afraid I'd break it!
I've had self-control since way back then
Got a sweet one-bedroom pad, and a loving widowed dad
Posters signed by Mazzy Star, World of Warcraft, Avatar!

40 years of moving at a constant speed
There's nothing else I really need.

And you may think that I want more than I let on
But I'm really fine, so no need to be appalled
I'm this way by choice, and what you can bet on
-is I'll keep moving forward, the opposite of stalled.

And I don't have a car, 'cause they're overrated!
I don't have a girlfriend, and somehow, I survive!
Still, I've gotten crazy far!
And just as I've stated, I mean what I've said
"I feel totally alive!"
Sure as the helmet's on my head
I feel totally alive!
I'm the opposite of dead!
I feel totally alive!

Doo doo, doo doo, doo!
