[00:20.80]By the light of the lamp I sit to type
[00:25.50]My notes on tab at my side.
[00:35.71]I don't see the sun much these days,
[00:40.72]A fluorescent tan covers my hide.
[00:49.63]How much impact shall I have this time?
[00:53.59]My goal today is to reach the deadline.
[01:00.08]I write between the lines. I deal with fantasy.
[01:04.17]I report the facts. Give them to me, please.
[01:23.55]Ham and egg salad on white bread...
[01:28.20]Keeps me company on nights like this.
[01:35.53]A pack of mentholated cigarettes...
[01:40.44]Keeps my air nice and thick.
[01:50.96]When I write, words flow like coins from a candy box.
[01:55.29]Get out of my way. I've got something to say!
[02:23.58]The pulse is beating louder now.
[02:45.00]The cramps in my hands grow more intense
[02:48.89]With each tik, tik, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap on the keys.
[02:56.46]My social life is at an end so it seems to be.
[03:11.54]Why don't I trample on your lawn today?
[03:15.79]I'll take skies of blue, turn over old skies of grey.
[03:20.19]I write between the lines. I deal with fantasy.
[03:25.33]I am the pressman. Acknowledge me!
[04:34.50]Mother always told me never stray too far from home.
[04:38.76]The little lady said,
[04:40.29]"Boy, you'll never have to be alone, because..."
[04:42.87]You build with fountain pen.
[04:44.89]You create the memory stain
[04:47.54]You are the pressman.
[04:49.60]Stand up straight, boy.
