Even Steven

"He never went hot

He never looked cold

He was fair to middle on the needle

Too old to be young

Too young to be old 

And his name was Even Steven

Straight down the middle of the highway

From a town along the coast

Nothing was wrong

But it wasn’t really right

He was looking for a girl he’d known

She said come in I’ll take your coat

Let’s get to your reprieve

And so a frown turned upside down on their faces even Steve’s

They had a good house

Well designed 

Perfectly agreeable neighbors

Dark in the hall but

But great kitchen light

And a sign that read “The Stevens”

Monday tuesday wednesday night

It was chicken broccoli rice

Friday was pizza and wine

They would always split the pie

You’ll find them on that level plane

Balancing, unseen

When you tip, they right the scale

Call them the Even Steven

Yeah, You’ll find them on that level plane

Balancing, unseen

When you tip, they right the scale 

If you try you cannot fail 

You’ll come out Even Steven"
