And we're back!
Back from what? back from lots of stuff
Back in black, back on track
Stacking vax on vax
Facing facts, shacking up with a snack in the sack
Cutting slack and changing tack on Bojack after the fact
Catching flak for feeling lacking in the practice of tact
Going quack quack quack in the Slack - ACK!
Asking after the fatback
Cracking into the tackback
Wait play that back
That sounds wack
Act fast! Pack a mask, have a panic attack
Sit back and relax, leave the manic intact
Backtrack on the stats and get stabbed in the back
Just don't call it a comeback
Okay, okay, okay
I have my ways
Okay, okay, okay
Strange days
Okay, okay, okay
I think it might be okay
Stand back!
Back on the bus
No fuss - well, if I can remember
Where I put that Ventra that they sent in December
Gonna blush; gonna stumble and mumble
Out of touch with the rumbling jungle
Heels are blistered, nevertheless
I look city pretty in my summer dress
I'm gonna keep persisting
Keep resisting
Keep existing
Keep insisting
That I gotta be prepared for anything
For example for Chicago in spring
Like a teeny Girl Scout I got ta start ta
Pack a bikini and a parka
And I'll see you out and about
Rolling on the South Side checking me out
And I'll holler out the side of my ride
Open wide! It's good to be outside
Guess who's back!
Back in the biz; back in the game
Too much, too fast
Dizzy from the change
Whiplash - but I got the same name
Fact is I have the range
I could hop right back to my old habits
Take stability and grab it
Stop and drop until I have it
Or shop around and pop out possibilities like bunny rabbits
A woman's work is never done
But I just wanna have fun in the sun
Roll my toes in clover; feel my feet in the grass
Feel the beat, shake my ass
Romance! It's not over til it's over
Dance to Chance, kick it to Donald Glover
Bop to Noname, step it undercover
Lick it up like you uncover a lover
Okay, okay, okay
I have my ways
Okay, okay, okay
Strange days
Okay, okay, okay
I think it might be okay
Back to back!
Back on the horse - of course, of course
Back in the saddle
Make way for remorse horse
We thought we ought to be more excited
But it's OK - you are invited
To meet in the park
And smoke after dark
Which is actually illegal
Even squares
Who cares
I'll see you there
Pass pass puff
I won't call your bluff
Beers with my dears maybe that's enough
Back from what? Back from lots of stuff
