It was looking like a throw back Monday
The whole human race was on my back
And coming off a dreadful weekend
I was looking for a four leaf clover Jack
Given half the chance I'd roll up
In a little ball and go right back to sleep
Flip the safety off a Nyquil bottle
Take a hit and then I'd backstroke Neptune deep

Bought a coffee and a Charlie ticket
I took a little risk and blew off work
At the far end of the subway platform
Saw a crazy old codger who was going berserk
I watched him crab-walk toward me
Pretty soon I felt him pulling on my sleeve
Heard the screech of a braking trolley
Jumping on I heard him tell me to believe

Without the pain there is no gain
You've got to keep on looking through
Enchanted Glasses

Getting slammed into a balance hand pole
I felt a sudden sharpness against my chest
In the pocket of my leather jacket
I found a pair of multi-colored tricked out specs
Just for a laugh I tried them
When I looked around I thought that I had died
Everybody had a golden aura
The subway car looked like a Magic Kingdom ride

Without the pain there is no gain
You've got to keep on looking through
Enchanted Glasses

Steve, a fun song. I like the vocal treatment, cadence and story line. The AI images look pretty good too but have to mention the 6 fingers on the guy ~2:00.

Thanks Bjorn, I know - AI still has a way to go with images!  I left all the weird stuff in there - seemed to fit the premise of the song which is weird too.  The arms of the guy sleeping are really funky, and some of the subway poles go right through people.  All sorts of flaws!

I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment!
