Singin’ In My Bathroom / Commercial Status

By Joy Lynn Clark

Today is voting day, I hope you did that. Anyhow, I have been working on Bathroom for over 10 years. It all started as this morbid thought that ran through my mind when I was showering. I am in the shower singing my heart out to the radio. It could have even been one of my tracks, when I think to myself, “I need to bring this radio in the shower and turn this track way up”. Then my smarter side kicks in and I think, “but what if I electrocute myself and die right here.” Very smart thinking on my part. For now, this song is a tragedy.

Some years later, water proof phones become a reality. This is no longer a tragedy, Yay! Ask and you shall receive. I replaced those lyrics with (iPhone, and iPod) – yes there is a copyright with and one without. I never got that commercial but, you can fill it in wherever you see boombox.

Bathroom
Scrubbing my feet and I don’t even think
about the world outside no reason to lie
and I think of things back in time
when I was young playing princess

I like the way that I sound when
I’m singing in my bathroom
Plug my boombox in
and I’ll come clean real soon

So I think about the future
and what I’m gonna do
finish my degree and lead a team of 22
write the best rfp
and get the figures we need
keep it all in budget watch our plan succeed

I like the way that I sound when
I’m singing in my bathroom
Plug my boombox in
and I’ll come clean real soon

All this thought in the past
and in the future
keeping me from here and now
my mind is everywhere
but where it should be
now I’m knocking some things down

I like the way that I sound when
I’m singing in my bathroom
Plug my boombox in
and I’ll come clean real soon

I never let nobody catch me slipping
here alone in the shower I crash
the wall is what I wanna be gripping
but I’m going down way too fast

I like the way that I sound when
I’m singing in my bathroom
Plug my boombox in
and I’ll come clean real soon
