[Verse 1] Got a thousand irons in the fire Sixteen plans before noon Chasing every shiny little thing Like a raccoon with a spoon Started bread and planted flowers Cleaned a shelf and lost my phone Now I’m standing in the kitchen Wondering why I’m here alone [Pre-Chorus] Oh no… There I go… Adding one more thing To the overflow [Chorus] I’ve got a thousand irons in the fire And at least six burns to prove Life says, “Maybe slow it down” I say, “I’ve got things to do” Smoke is rising from my schedule My to-do list’s bulletproof One more thing won’t hurt me… (that’s my favorite lie to use) [Verse 2] Everybody says, “Just focus” That sounds easy when it’s you My brain’s a happy little riot Like a raccoon with a spoon One eye on the garden One eye on something new Three ideas become thirteen By the time I make it through [Outro] A thousand irons in the fire And honestly, it’s true… I’ve never been more me Than a raccoon with a spoon.
