Spice

Now day-to-day life is a menu with one item

Week after week tastes the same

But sometimes one minute has magic within it

If we might call it by name

Hm

I'd say that life is sane, mildly inviting

Business gain always is delighting

Now and then, something more exciting enters in

You'll find that temperature is the early warning

You may meet some freezing winter morning

But the heat is California dawning in your brain

And the youth thought life would sing

So like the flame, 'less she wanders past you

"What's your name?" Insomnia will ask you

"Are you game to do the things you never thought you'd do?

Let's see how well you move to break the ice

'Cause underneath that ice, you may find spice"

Pick up a history book, a thumb across the pages

Pharaohs, tsars and thinkers through the ages

Kings and slaves were driven into rages by a kiss

So if you're scared to death, well, muster up your reason

Take a breath, it's just that funny season

To refuse must be considered treason in the spring

And a-do you know her ring size?

Think of all the dulls of living quiet

Like a cage with no one passing by it

Healthy brains may need a change of diet

Now and then, remember Chinese millions live and die on rice

Bet they'd mop their pointed chops if they ever had spice

Oh, let's see how well you move to break the ice

And remember spice, and my advice

'Cause oftentimes, spice is nice
