Two Astrologers
Original song about a liminal moment in a healing journey; the persistent feeling of being existentially lost, even while supported by an abundance of resources.

TWO ASTROLOGERS
I got two astrologers
I got google calendars
Late night nine to five, an IRA (hey)
All my petty pains to work away (yeah)
(hey)
I clear my phone, I clean the litter boxes
A daily pill helps clear my skin of rashes
I go for broke when I feel the masses
Each has a different thought of what the mask is
Two astrologers
Two astrologers
Two astrologers
Two astrologers
Two astrologers
Two astrologers
My resistances hold back the forces
A blind insistence on some better choices
These stories serve when I re-enforce them
But younger hearts get hurt when you divorce them
Early hour since I last forgot her
A mirrored reflection of my gentle daughter
The petty theft of time is mine to ponder
Why so bereft my sweet and sad marauder
Two astrologers
Two astrologers
Two astrologers
Two astrologers
Two astrologers
Two astrologers
I got two astrologers
I got apple computers
Making lemons out of lemonade (hey)
Bewildered world spins herself away (yeah)
Two astrologers
Two astrologers
Two astrologers
Two astrologers
Two astrologers
Two astrologers
