lyrics

At the bus stop
Hop on hop off
One ride a pop
Change lines and swap
Too far to walk
No time to talk
Sights set and locked
Get off next block
It could be the season
That could be the reason
On with my day
Feeling OK
At a café
Take a survey
This could be the feeling
That has left me reeling
Long odds I weigh
Findings convey
There’s no delay
High price to pay
And as I see you walking talking on by
If I said so what it would be a big lie
Feigning concern
Try to discern
Big rapids churn
The tide has turned
As the sun sets down
Leaving this town
As the Earth goes round
Touching high ground
As stars collide
My time I’ll bide
As the black hole draws
Stop hold & pause
Along the line
Swing on a vine
Quarter to nine
Biding my time
Feeling so fine
Hear the bell chime
Locked in a rhyme
Hands off what’s mine
It could be the full moon
Got me going boom boom
Splash the cologne
Squeeze out the foam
Tonic & comb
Get in the zone
It could be the starlight
Got me feeling so bright
Pick up the phone
There’s no dial tone
Nowhere to roam
The coup has flown
And as I see rocking right through your day
Don’t worry about me ‘cause yeah I’ll be OK
Down in a glut
Blew the last putt
Kicked in the gut
You say so what
Crane my neck and look up to heaven
On the sixth stage hoping I make it seven
Got to move on just like Magellan
Where I’ll go there ain’t just no telling
Check my plate and the rations are meager
Feeling worn and a tad beleaguered
Save my strength and dig a little deeper
Get the tunes and let’s crank up the Seger
You know what can’t give up got to pour it and fill my cup
If I pass by promise I won’t sneak peek
Knowing your status isn’t something I seek
Feeling so spurned
Bridges are burned
Can’t be returned
Meeting adjourned
As the sun sets down
Leaving this town
As the Earth goes round
Touching high ground
As stars collide
My time I’ll bide
As the black hole draws
Stop hold & pause
