You drum consistently boom bang boom
To this rhythm that you hear and everyone
Else hears and you’re oh-so-very good
With your guitar and bass and sticks in your hands
But you can’t hear my rhythm you can’t see
The music flowing through my fingers
Into everything I want which is why I must
Say to you what it is I should say
You are amazing spectacular wonderful
But we are on different levels
And such is life
Life is balanced on a pin
And it wasn’t until you walked in
I realized this precarious sway
Now I feel so swept away
I try my best to stand tall
But what goes up will eventually fall
And lord knows you may decline
Any sort of advance of mine
Shallow thoughts scour my soul
Forget the blues, lets rock n roll
And it wasn’t until you walked in
I realized this precarious sway
Now I feel so swept away
I try my best to stand tall
But what goes up will eventually fall
And lord knows you may decline
Any sort of advance of mine
Shallow thoughts scour my soul
Forget the blues, lets rock n roll
I sit in the street mindlessly smoking
Watching the leaves on a tree play the breeze
And the moonlight dance on your roof
When a mouse pranced forth in
Its own hurry – intent and driven
Followed closely by a cat who watched
Tenderly over friend or prey
(Sometimes it’s difficult to tell which)
Until they trotted off into darkness
Later that night I saw the cat
We were alone
Watching the leaves on a tree play the breeze
And the moonlight dance on your roof
When a mouse pranced forth in
Its own hurry – intent and driven
Followed closely by a cat who watched
Tenderly over friend or prey
(Sometimes it’s difficult to tell which)
Until they trotted off into darkness
Later that night I saw the cat
We were alone
Red eyes at night
My delight
in your downfall
no moon
only tobacco fueled
caffeine addiction
self pleasured
mantra fucked
induced by
your lack of presence
and how
when I’m
by your side
I feel empty
again
