"and i teeter between tired

         and really, really tired

i'm wiped and i'm wired

but i guess its just as well

because i built my own empire

out of car tires and chicken wire

and i'm queen of my own compost heap

and i'm getting used to the smell"

                                                                                              It's a really beautiful song.
