items trapped in the cause Lyrics

We get up

And we boil some water

And drink a drink

But we don't eat

Cos there's no time

No time to eat

At least it seems that way

On a day like today

And we find the thing

And we take the thing

Over to the shelf

And we put it on the shelf

And we take a little time

To align the thing

With the edge of the shelf

With the edge of the shelf

Choose some clothes

From a set of clothes

Do our best to be casual

And we have another sip

Of our chosen drink

We put on a coat

And exit the door

Throw the lock

Then we turn around

And we go back in

Because we forgot

We find the thing

In the place we put it

So that's OK

So that's OK

Get to an office

There is a desk

We put the thing

Inside of a box

We put the box

Underneath the desk

And we rest both our feet

On top of the box

So that when we do what we do at the desk

We feel comfortable

About the thing

The thing that we have under the desk

It's in the box

It's at our feet

We move some things

That we see on a screen

Sometimes to the left

Often to the right

At the end of it day

They have not moved

Quite as much as we thought they would

But the new positions

Seem an improvement

And we are pleased

With the whole effect

And we whisper quietly under the desk

"We moved those things"

"We moved those things"

Go back home

With the thing in a bag

We know that the thing has been useful today

Through the door

And into the room

Put the thing

Back on that shelf

Don't forget to align the thing

Accurately with the edge of the shelf

It's important

To do this well

Do it well

And carefully

The end of the day

And we feel tired

We did our job

As best we could

It's time to eat our favourite food

And while we eat

We think about

The day that passed

The job we did

The stuff we saw

What we processed

The thing we kept

Under the desk

It's in the box

It's at our feet
