music realized circa 1985 via Casio CT-68, Fender Mustang, double track on cassette, by Chris Vaisvil

The Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem is quite apparent on this. I’m sorry - this is all I got.

I guess its just as well there is no answer
I’ve forgotten who it is I’ve dialed
a quarter past morning and the whole world’s out
the tinny rings all call me names
I’m feeling so reviled!

The thing is a terrible waste to mind
the waste is a terrible thing to mind
the thing is a terrible mind to waste

the mind is a terrible thing
the mind is a terrible thing
the mind is a terrible thing
the mind is a terrible thing

My kitten paws a dead moth in its water bowl
there’s a good suggestion, think I’ll join in the play
these days, how well I know, my mind plays stranger games
even so I never win day after day!

My thoughts are hardened
like the chewing gum
I once stuck beneath a classroom chair
never thought I’d have to chew that gum again

the mind pays its own air fare
the mind pays its own air fare
the mind pays its own air fare
the mind pays its own air fare

It seems that the skeleton under every face
has the very last laugh and laughs the most
though its clothing sags with heavy burdens,
the real fool underneath will surely boast
the skeleton beneath will make a toast

The thing is a terrible waste to mind
the waste is a terrible thing to mind
the thing is a terrible mind to waste

the mind is a terrible thing
the mind is a terrible thing
the mind is a terrible thing
the mind is a terrible thing
