Start out walking down the street and
see an old friend gotta go and
get his number, get it quick, then
catch a bus and take the next stop,
walk four blocks and cry your eyes out.
Never turning, never caring.
Always thinking, always praying.
Go to sleep and get your nights worth.
Wake up half dead make some noise and
go to town with nothing left to
lose. A death with and some stencils.
Hear the beat and move your feet then
Break into a steady run while
Maps with arrows none too destined
point you in the right direction
Legs are aching, heart is racing
Eyes are pacing, lungs are shutting
Down
Hear the city, feel it's heartburn
See the pretty people out there
Bash your brain with petty thoughts
Of being one like all the others
Make a quick left climb a three set
Wind up asking for a new friend
When you get to where they're pointing
Observation and some gut rot
End up throwing on the sidewalk
all the hopes and all the dreams that
made you get into this scene and
now you see them, now you greet them
face to face there's not a reason
to retract your favorite statement
Life is golden, hearts are ancient
keep it stable, make sure you don't
drown.
Wake up moaning, wailing, crying,
scratching, itching from excitement.
Biting down on early warnings
Wearing heavy on your shirt sleeves
Wearing nothing but a smile
Lacking truth, full of denial
Brushing dust out of your teeth and
Hoping someone comes to see you
Brush the dust off of your shoulders
Realizing that it's over
Admitting to all your faults and
All your breakdowns, life's a drought and
Now you're empty, now you're choking
Now you're waking up and life's
A joke.
