Once upon a time
In the warp and the mind
Down a road that ends
In a forest replete
With lights shining down now
Street snake toward town now
Every stone you’ve tossed
Seems to land at your feet.
The forest of lights dim to wavering trees
The gilt and hue beauties and you’re still here on your knees.
Anticipation
A brand new elation
Second hand cobbles
Turn to gentrified streets
The bars and the hovels
Of yet unfinished novels
There's dust on your shoes now
And you’re light on your feet.
And the wind is coming, it’s cool off the lake
And now it’s time for the rake to wonder how much more he can take.
Take it fine
And you wonder if she knows if she cares what’s on her mind.
It will all work out fine.
What you really want, what you really need is to really care, really believe
What you really want, what you really need is to
Find some girl from the north country or some southern hand belle
A bile confrontation now who's symptoms you can’t quell
A private consultation who's secrets you can’t tell
Another dark haired maiden to bewitch you for a spell
But what’s that matter tonight?
Deep desperation
At a sidewalk newsstand.
Filled with a language
You almost comprehend.
The bars and the hovels
Just some means to an end.
The unfinished novels
That you can’t seem to end.
The bars and the hovels
That just won’t seem to end
Of your unfinished novels
That just won’t seem to end.
