PACIFIC & FRANTIC

Words & Music Copyright by Barry Feldman (ASCAP)

Laid back and frantic wide awake in want of sleep

Pacific Atlantic tryin to count flyin sheep

Rushed and romantic likes to step away from the street

Pacific Atlantic but he can't afford to miss a beat

 

He's nappin with his feet tap tappin away

He relaxes in a strait-jacket every day

Every hour he resets his alarm

And dreams of old friends callin him on the farm

I think he'd like to be in Idaho

But he never gets the chance to go

Yeah he'd love to live with the Vermont Maid

But she doesn't follow the hit parade

So he runs and runs and runs and runs

And never gets anything done

He doesn't mean to be this way

 

So weary and frantic tired and wired

Pacific Atlantic like water and fire

Rushed and romantic only in a game will he compete

Pacific Atlantic but he's so ashamed to miss a beat

 

He seems hyped up but he's not that way

He might seem kinda lazy but he's not that way

Some think he's a high powered promo man

Others think he's a low-powered parlor fan

He gets sidetracked by every cause while his life is just

A pregnant pause

Sometimes he wants to eat the sky

Sometime he just wants to die

He doesn't mean to be this way

He doesn't mean to seem this way

Nappin with his feet tap tappin away

He's nappin with his feet tap tappin away

Oh he's nappin with his feet tap tappin away

Ooh he's nappin with his feet tap tappin away

Oh he's nappin with his feet tap tappin away

Tappin away tappin away tappin away tappin away tappin away tappin away
