M. Lockwood Porter - Craigslist Song

We used to live in the middle of the city
It's a pity how it wrecked my head
Eight roommates in an old Victorian
There's no glory in living in the red

I met you in a band that I joined from Craigslist
A lucky nexus of space and time
Funny how fate can try to save you
But you stay a slave to your worrying mind

I put my eggs in one basket
I threw my pearls before swine
I had a question, was too afraid to ask it
Too distracted to notice the sign

Quit my job so I couldn't back out
Went on tour and maxed out my credit card
I could have made it, but I doubt it
Thought it wouldn't count if it didn't come hard

Burned my candle at both ends
I walked a fine line
I abandoned all of my friends
Too distracted to notice the signs

At least I know I tried
We tell ourselves these stories to get by

I put my eggs in one basket
I threw my pearls before swine
I had a question, was too afraid to ask it
Too distracted to notice the sign
