A CONFUSION OF TONGUES and a MISCALCULATION of the weather
don’t know whether I’m going to make it through the night
where were you when I needed you
things were CHANGING in a way that was making all of us loose PATIENCE
but not anybody was needed to fill this gap which had become a VACUUM
and who lit you a CIGARETTE while others were burning down BRIDGES?
Hey man, are you alive or are you dead? Your head is probably in need of repair
care to mention why your heels DRAG so or is your new suit enough for you?
Don’t give me the same old story isn’t it time for something BOLD?
The city is the place to be but why all the BARRICADES I thought a sign of VIBRANCY
was when CONNECTIONS were being made and didn’t I hear someone say something
about a country with only ONE forty-five year old HORSE?
It’s a cry in the night for a long dark overdue with a HUE and a cry I try to keep
my head above going UNDER I wonder who else thinks like this?
I need to live with you WITHOUT the barriers
how far do you want to go now
I’m still just looking for my country
HEY COUNTRY BOY are you close enough are you BOLD enough
is there MUD in you EYE and GRIT beneath you nails?
Are you to be my guide can you take this all in your STRIDE?
Aaah but I see a head that’s been bred on a NAZI mentality and so I just can’t help
wondering what you MOTHER looks like so don’t bury your head in the SLUDGE
it gets hard to breathe when you’re six feet deep and DOING everything
you can to stay alive its after five in the morning and very little else is dawning
and someone has just asked me out but they’ve FORGOTTEN its all wrong
they just don’t know where they are heading there’s a landing somewhere
almost close by but
I’m still just looking for my country
I asked him to use his IMAGINATION and he looked at me as if I were responsible
for HIS FLAT TYRE he’s not going anywhere anyway but he needs to blame somebody
ANYBODY out there with a broader point of view who could come to my RESCUE
there’s something to be learnt from a MISTAKE but this takes the entire slice of cake
and WHO baked you an APPLE? And just what do you do with those COLOURS that
BRILLIANT in spite of the DULL THUD of your EYES?
