I’m swaying You’re weighing But I cannot stop The love that I got I’m fraying You’re praying But I cannot block The love that I got Doesn’t matter all the things you do Irrelevant whom you try to fool Academic how you seek to trick Ineffective needles which you prick It’s the rock I’m rolling Lone path I’ll be cajoling Baggage yeah I’ll be stowing That’s just yeah how it’s going I’m knocking You’re balking But I cannot lock The love that I got I’m talking You’re walking But I cannot dock The love that I got Doesn’t matter all the games you play Inconsequential much of what you say Amateur ploys you seek to feign Immaterial objects which you gain You’re sending I’m lending & all that you let Is what you shall get You’re mending I’m trending & all that you set Is what you shall get Doesn’t matter whose toes you may step Unconcerned with what odds may be bet Unimportant of the lines you blur Indifferent to the false leads which you spur But I cannot dock The love that I got But I cannot lock The love that I got But I cannot block The love that I got But I cannot stop The love that I got

Caught you sittin’ by the stand Feet were sinkin’ in quicksand Said come quickly Lend a hand Take 2 steps forward Slide to the right Turn hip shake it Hold it tight Retrack back jack it Rotate it nice Hig & jig it With all your might Free wheelin’ Feelin’ surreal & How I’m movin’ Oh so good yeah Dream weavin’ Got me believin’ Groovin’ like I Know I should Lend me your ear Feelin’ low Think I lost My mojo Said relax Mac Forget the score Had this feeling In my bones It abandoned Left my home Wish I could get Back & roam Build it up & tear it down & slightly stirred & shaken round Amplify in sound surround & turn it up let it compound Elevate let it resound replay it to a full rebound Escalate & gaining ground & toe to toe & pound for pound Take it high & bring it low & blur the lines & let it flow Watch it go have it unfold just hang it loose & make it roll Serve it hot or dish it cold & shoot the mark & hit the goal Play the half & take the whole in this moment fully enrolled So now get movin’ Groovin’ right Bust it loose yeah Hold it tight Ain’t much for muscle I can fight

Cause I really want to know If or not it’s time to go I just want to make it flow Get it lined up in a row Cause I really want to see If or not it is for me Set the lock & turn the key Start the countdown now on three Come here & shake it Really want to take it Can’t seem to fake it Would be a shame to waste it Turn it & baste it Really want to taste it Lick it & paste it Really want to make it Come & embrace it Get the nerves to face it Frame & encase it Just don’t go debase it Sketch freehand trace it Mind you don’t erase it Get on & chase it Just don’t go misplace it Feels like the world is spinning around As though my feet aren’t touching the ground Watching the colours explode into sound Second hand is coming unwound Feels like my mind explodes into space Accelerate at a slow-motion pace Sketch a fine line without any trace Everything just falls into place Go & ignite it Strike a match to light it Come uninvited You’re really gonna like it Proceed despite it Grin then bear & bite it Wrong & then right it You just got to fight it Come in & sample The supplies are ample Roll out the gamble Shake your sweet Bojangles Tempt it & dangle Get on up & scramble Ain’t gonna ramble This is my preamble

My heart it breaks Body aches for you My spirit shakes Mind awakes it’s true Don’t know if you do But I felt such a fool Pick me up dust me off Make me feel brand new My heart relays Everyday to you Don’t delay Can’t withhold the truth Message on its way With words that can’t convey Feel for you do you feel for me Perhaps the same way My tears won’t dry Eyes don’t lie to you Lost soul it cries Hope it sighs it’s true Don’t know if I’m wrong The words to this song Shoot the moon go for broke Finish the leg strong My mind implores Heart adores it’s true Can’t ignore Knock on my door from you Anecdotally it’s true Categorically it’s you No surprise where truth belies How it comes to pool Love don’t erode Hope don’t corrode for you Feelings explode Don’t implode it’s true My dream it plies Time it flies with you Crystallize In your eyes it’s true

Said I’m moving on Just a singin’ my song Can’t be staying long Must be rollin’ along Yes I’m groovin’ on Ride from dusk until dawn To where my spirit is drawn Taillights fade & then gone Gonna head for the hills Beyond the horizon Gonna make like the moon Chase the sun risin’ Yeah man so I was just heading down that dusty road Minding my own, window down When a flash of light caught my eye in the rear-view mirror & then you burst forth Turned a blind eye to all my good deeds Went AWOL in my hour of need Reaped what was sewn then replenished with weeds Washed your hands as you wished me Godspeed Lent a deaf ear to all of my pleas Hid the antidote for my disease Body blow brought me down to my knees Turned & smiled while I slowly bleed Looks like things are clearing up ahead With nothing left behind Maybe time to ease off on the gas for a bit Push the seat back Yes I’m flowin’ goln’ I won’t see you anymore Yes I’m growin’ goin’ As I’m walkin’ out the door Yes I’m strollin’ rollin’ As I know what it’s in store Yes I’m goin’ knowin’ I won’t see you anymore

When I’m riding alone & I’m thinking of you & I wonder aloud about what I should do But I’m not really sure ‘cause I don’t have the time Got no sense, wits, yeah now rhythm or rhyme Thought I was wise Now I feel like a fool Figured all was aligned It’s all askew Need a séance Foresee the news Wonder how I could be so blind Replay the tape quick please press rewind Ain’t stoppin’ at the exit door for you Not coppin’ yeah to all the things you do Ain’t poppin’ tales straight out of the blue Not droppin’ yeah now what I know is true Ain’t crawlin’ on my hands & knees to you Not fallin’ for the same old tricks you do Ain’t ballin’ as I head out for the blue Not stallin’ here’s a newsflash now we’re thru When I’m lying awake & I’m drinking ‘bout us Endlessly pondering about what was the fuss But I don’t really know ‘cause I don’t really care Had enough of two-faced truth double dares Thought I was cool Now I feel like a klutz Thought I had the all-clear Now I’m down on my luck Wish I knew now What I didn’t know then Hit the brakes stop cold in my tracks Shiftin’ the gears reverse double back Board up the doors lock all the gates Hands to yourself now don’t tempt fate I’m not falling for you I know what now is true I ain’t missing you I know just what to do I’m not thinking about you I know what now is true I ain’t wantin’ you Know just what I should do It’s time to say goodbye yeah

Stuck in a rut No ifs ands or buts Down in a glut Seems I lost my strut Struck in the gut Not quite sure by what Lifeline is cut Exit way is shut Then you come in the doorway bay Turn around I say hey hey hey Imply that you’d like to stay Think it could be my lucky day yay-yay Mired in a drought Without any doubt Holler & shout Got nothing to tout Lost on a rout With nothing to flout Stuck on the outs Seems I lost my clout Then you call on the telephone Address me in a certain tone Inquire if I’m home alone Determine if I might be prone oh yeah I want it now You need it how I like it wow You got it pow Stuck in a ditch Without any hitch Locked in a pitch Without any switch Seeking a niche Not quite sure of which I got an itch Makes me wanna twitch Got the warning you’d drop on by Think I knew the reason why Shrug my shoulders turn & sigh Truth I told was all a lie I said Down in a muck Like a sitting duck Wheels spin & stuck Trend I’d like to buck Progress is struck Things have run amok Wish I could chuck Get back to good luck Then you burst ‘neath the full moonlight Mood is set the timing’s right Sparkling under the twilight night Ignition on as we take flight come on I want it now You need it how I like it wow You got it pow You want it now I need it how You like it wow I got it pow

Dusk was fast approaching As I paced back & forth Bead of sweat traced my brow I had no place to go But I had to get from where I was Wasn’t wanted there no more So I grabbed a white shirt & pair of black slacks Slipped out back The night was peaceful Had no fixed address no one looking for me The path was clear So I took it Run & kickin’ From where I was before Clock is tickin’ Searchin’ for the exit door Fingers pickin’ Master key on the floor Nothing clickin’ The sweat drippin’ through my pores Pulse is racin’ Searching for a second way Fingers tracin’ Gather up my dossier Heartbeat chasin’ Panoramic quick survey Body bracin’ Leap of faith from the fray The moon began to rise along that eastern ridge Arcing slowly across the sky Lookin’ down on me For I was soul bare with a ragged stare Weathered skin & a little thin But I was still moving I passed the cacti which stood like sentinels Saluting my passage Stoic silent I just kept on thinking reminiscing reflecting Thought of you from time to time Did you feel it So I looked up ahead & thought to double back Maybe change tack But kept on track For I was a solo hobo with no loco moto But that was fine by me This moment anyway & as the day began to break A picture of your face shone across my mind Warmed me to my soul & I felt a lifetime pass in one nighttime With answers to questions, I didn’t have So I journeyed on
9.
I’ve been prodded & been poked Pushed & pulled & then provoked Hounded each & everyday Seemingly each & every way Been dismissed without respite Skipped the bark received the bite Kicked & trashed upon the floor Full onslaught my body bore Had all memory erased Skip the plot cut to the chase Sensing the walls are closing in Seeking an exit way again Idly dismissed without a case Thrown out while standing safe on base Judge smiled so condescendingly This time there won’t be no jury Empty pockets naked mast Endless sea shapeless & vast Bait my feeble line & cast Stretch it out to make it last But I’m digging in my heels Fighting for what I know is real & if you’d care to throw it down Be forewarned I’m duty bound Note that my eyes are curtain-veiled Peek behind them if you dare Fire brimstone nostril flare If looks could kill then see my glare
10.
Stay back Don’t crack Unsure when I’ll be back Turn round Stand down Shut it don’t make a sound Relay Convey There’s no time to delay Fan out Reroute Don’t let the word get out Go track it That sound Slow hack it Expound Go jack it Surround Mack tack it Impound Lay low Go slow On your mark get set go Head down Look round Keep it within the bounds Relate Conflate No time to debate Ignite Take flight Keep clear out of sight All I wanted in this spinning big wide world was you Then you turned proclaimed we’re thru Situation comes unglued Don’t know what’s hearsay or true Thinking all the things you said Echoing within my head & I’m left hanging by a thread As the light changes to red Close in Begin No sign where you have been Fan out Reroute Inquire what it’s about Engage Upstage Let’s turn the final page Prevail All hail Assess & re-gauge Locate it Amend Placate it Ascend Relate it Extend Rotate it Transcend I want it now You need it how Please hear my vow I plea to thou Standing my ground Let me expound Going full round Confusion Contusion Conniption Conviction Persuasion Evasion Disruption Eruption Assess Redress Don’t fold under duress Adapt Retract Step back quick-check the facts Acquire Desire Keep stoking the fire Avert Desert Dig deep ‘til hit pay dirt

So I wake up in a dream It seems just all so serene Don’t know quite what to believe Card I saw tucked up your sleeve But I see a light down the way Beckoning & calling my name Implores me to take the next step No matter of the odds which are bet So I step on out the door Look up & then down my floor Hall light short circuits inside It sparks flickers flames then dies Feel primed & ready to score Pour it on & give it some more Riding the pendulum swing To the clasp I desperately cling As you call I’m pulling away Expired meter voiding my stay Penalty fine I can’t afford to pay I’ve got nothing to say Bust loose Breaking headlong into the wind Lit fuse Propelling me further away again No use Going where there’s no return to send Hit cruise Waiting way past beyond the bend So I walk on down the road Shall pay when I hit the toll Grey clouds clustering ahead Obscure the path I once tread But I feel the wheel start to turn Correcting redirecting my burn Feeling the envelope spring No telling of the launch it may bring But I see it coming around Make up ground without any sound Feeling the sweat start to bead Tells me of the sign I should heed Take a look & please read the sign Clock’s ticking you are out of time Clear intrusion way over the line I politely decline
12.
Late one night I was walking alone No streetlights Trying to make my home Then you came in my mind Stumbled to the beat A vibe tripline I’m left feelin’ the heat Like a moth to a flame Flicker to your light As a boy with no shame Fighting the good fight Pull my chain Don’t refrain Please sustain My need I want you You want me One & one Pure synergy I lost you You found me What we’ve got Sweet harmony Early one morn Tossing in my sleep Clouded sunrise Light beginning to creep Entered in my dream Like the twilight zone Didn’t want to escape Pleasure thunderdome Like a pig to a trough Hunger for the feast Flick the switch to the off Beauty & the beast Bustin’ loose No excuse Sign the truce I plead Left astray In the fray Run away Godspeed
