about

This is an autobiographical song about getting lost at the mall during Christmas time.

lyrics

Map and compass water bottle,
Check check check and check
Bandages, tinder and whistle
Hanging from my neck

But despite the preparedness
Of my survival pack
I struggle to identify
Whether this discount rack

Is the same one that I've seen
Some three hours before
Or if I'll find the exit out
From the department store

Chorus: I'm awol at the mall
Awol at the mall

I know I'm not to panic but
This sure is getting dreadful
I no longer see the trail I left
From my Wetzel's Pretzel

The salesgirl has directed me
But somehow I'm condemned
To end up turning up in the
Perfume section again

Where some women keeps spraying me
With the Drakkar Noir
I look a confused housewife but
I smell like a French whore

Chorus

Bridge: My water ration's running low
A most rueful subsistence
When bright lights of Target I see
Shining in the distance

Solo

Intent am I to get to where
The far off lights are glowing
I focus in on them and look
Not quite where I am going

I topple a Christmas display
A very stressed salesman
And what seems to be the whole of the
Kardashian clan

And finally I reach the mall
Like a woman obsessed
And just miss a collision with
Santa's Funtime Express

Chorus

Shoppers give me funny looks
But I don't give a damn
I only hope my family
Remembers who I am

And on a mission that perhaps
Sweet freedom will be mine
I make a beeline out of there
At the first exit sign

But as the nighttime air gets cold
And the sun fades to dark
There's no way in hell that I'll
Remember where I parked

Chorus
