Metaphor stuffed lyric from the delightful new musical, The Band's Visit

Time's Like A River, Sometimes.
Time Is An Ocean.
This Sofa Is My
Boat And I'm Just Drifting Right Along.
Time Is Like Syrup
and I'm The Bug Stuck In The syrup,
Just Kind Of Trying To Find
Out What I'm Doing Wrong.
Just Waiting For Something to Happen,
For Anything To Happen.
— Lyrics from ensemble's mood setting opening number   Waiting.
