A song about walls, written before it was such a popular subject...

lyrics

Scale That Wall Scott H. Owens

Sometimes I want to forget all I know about romance and being a fool
Sometimes I want to go down to Palm Springs and sleep face down in your pool
Sometimes it seems illusions and dreams
Have something to do with it all
Some of the time living seems all about trying to scale that wall

Scale that wall I can tell you I’ve never been lucky skinny or tall
I know that as far back as I can recall
I’ve been trying to get over that wall
All in all you can see that I've never been lucky skinny or tall
Even though I’m afraid I may fail or I may fall
I’m climbing that wall

One of my friends gave me wishes to stand on and maybes to keep me around
But maybes and wishes don’t wash many dishes so I had to get out of town
Friend number two gave me things that she knew
I could use to get over that wall
She said have a good time be kind and you’ll find that wall is no problem at all

Someone else said it’s all in your head who needs the aggravation
The check’s in the mail take the bull by the tail and face the situation
As for you Dr. Seuss I have no excuse
For this mixed metaphorical mess
But a toast is in order cuz you taught me to rhyme sorta
Here’s looking up your old address

Scale that wall I can tell you I’ve never been lucky skinny or tall
I know that as far back as I can recall
I’ve been trying to get over that wall
That’s not all after all these years I’m still not skinny or tall
Even though I’m afraid I may fail or I may fall
I’m climbing that wall
Even though we’re afraid we may fail or we may fall
We’re climbing that wall
