Don't Fix It​

​
I admit I may be addicted, because I always think I need a smoke
And if you really think of it, this may mean my mind has gotten broke
But what's the point in fixing it, another problem will just take its place
Although I guess the real truth would be that I could not possibly face

A day without a cigarette, I could fear nothing more
The logic that I explained to you was just a desperate implore
Because if it was a leg of mine that happened to break quite sharply
I'd want it to be fixed right now and fixed up rather smartly

I wouldn't want to leave it broke in case my arm got broken too
I'd want it set correctly, so that every bone and sinew
Would grow healthy and strong, the way it was before
But my very important mind which is my very core

Let it fester and weep, confused beyond recognition 
Send it on the road which we call perdition
It's really not worth fixing, it's only my mind
Just leave me to my frenzy, if you would be so kind
