lyrics

Listening to the cadence of speech of old men on the train

Yeah, I guess I’m the creative type

wanna be caressing the message into your essence as we lay tonight

Let’s look back in wonder at what we made of life

Similar oratory diatribe to find intertwining thighs, one of the finer guys

with an under ten dollar bottle of wine

and an eye for what I find, it’s glow, it’s shine

did I mention it’s time?

So we giddy up and climb

While the dinner up and fries

been led in a million other times

to a billion other sides

but never back to where singular resides

Grimm Gully Gruff Billy the story line it rides

Been on this train a billion other times

Hyperbole of course, mouth seems it bit the tongue a lot more

As we thought money was figurative, we pitted on the change

literally went in to get it out my brain

So I guess since then, the vision isn’t the same

I’ve been blistered out on the range

Sent to set free and rid my dogs of mange

Like a donkey trying to get us on that carrot game

I say, dare it’s strange, even gives us a lot of angst

My existence is enrollment in the care to train

In the vein that the revolution out it bangs

Sure, we did a lot of things

Aren’t pistols for tucking under wings?

Think of some keeping arms in jars

That kill us all without alarm

Same people built a lot of prison bars

Keeping citizens apart

Gotta get ‘em out the dark

We still play it winner like a mark

Too stuck in our busy lives to gather for dinner by the park

Raising the barn, with Raisin Bran charm

Watching a brother in arms, going back into the war

You can find me, dressed in fatigue army

Raising barns, not just about raising a barn

Sacrifice I admit I did a lot for art

Did it til the inspiration hit me hard

I want my contribution to be large, my resonance to be larger.
