Heard the words steam roller blow out
walking on a branch already broken
and the monsters of men

want to challenge the path
I have already chosen – what’s a non gender bender supposed to do?

And, and I look to you as a knight in shining armor

– and the villain on the tracks
But anyway that’s my stuff, my story and I tell it well
– if you stand still long enough to listen

I will maintain a glass half full mentality

throughout most of the day,

No need to tell me to keep the faith,

brighter days are coming soon,
brighter days are on the way

And I’m still carrying my lacking’s around

with an intense sense of pride

Committed to never letting them go,

like the lovely lessons learned
and bridges never burned – something my mum said a long time ago;
…I digress, perdonatemi la mai famiglia

I’ll continue to ride the wave when the oceans have dried

Just close my eyes and recall the vision of the mighty Poseidon,
and the sounds of water rushing against the tide
A wake up call just in case you missed the metaphor
It’s all right here in the third eye my own personal treasure
reflections from the other side,
when sand, sea and lies collide
And it hasn’t rained since the climate change naysayers
spit directly into the wind
So I’m out here trying to find an umbrella
but I’ll settle for one rational thread that will give me a pass
on what was written and believed to have been said
or the misinterpretation of everyones fate;
I’ve always been told it’s never too late – to ask for help

Chris Matthews throw me a life line
you are the only one that can pull the nation in
when everyone else relies on the bend in the road
or the guy in the hat who will cast the first stone
who boldly claims to have lived without sin
and the Svengali’s are telling us – it’s now, never, sink or swim

And all I can do is think about you and that’s gotta count for something

Chris Matthews throw me a life line
you are the only one that can make the nation grin
when everyone else relies on the bend in the road
or the guy in the hat who casts the first stone
who boldly claims to have lived without sin
and the Svengali’s are telling us – it’s now, never, sink or swim
