Really?
we spent it so freely
wasted it
really?

the reality is that it's time for time and as time runs out there is nowhere we can buy it,
and when we say that we're buying some time what does that mean?
it's just a pipe dream on a paper boat.

'there will be time' said Thomas, to finish off the conversation in some salon with friends and time to measure our responses until the final pulse.

But he says, why worry, take it easy, no need to hurry the words that will come anyway
on that other day when the clouds part we'll all start the journey again as we have done before.

the cat that has only nine lives picks at its claw as it watches the man who has so many more and spits on the box.
She was so thin
I told her that I'd seen more fat on a greasy chip and if she wasn't careful she'd slip through the cracks in the sidewalk,
we used to say things like that when we were young but try it these days and you'd get hung,
all change
I saw a teacher cry today

And I'm not quite sure how to feel

I sort of always viewed teachers as stone

Always there but never truly real
I have found that within my mind
there's a canyon of horizons and each one shows to me a difference of opinions and every opinion has its own opinion opening up onto new horizons.

I couldn't wish for more than this.
About this time which was that time then when I thought it was about time I made my move because I was in the groove, and then the needle stuck and *** me the record replayed the same melody over and over.

always
and the female cop in the car said pull over, I said no, it's a sweater, I bet her pulse quickened as I sped away,
and about this, I remained quiet until now

She still follows me how
is that possible?
Don't have
don't want
don't need,

that is food for the
don't have's because
they don't want
and they don't need,

feed 'em a line and
they fall for it
every time,

hear no
see no
speak no
wreak no
havoc.
The night is very near to me
and it's getting creepy

someone or something keeps me
safe
and I never look a gift horse
or a God in the mouth.

Jehovah looks over and he's shaking his head
it's a good job I'm alive or else I'd be dead.

Oh Man,
it's a rhyme
take some time
you'll get over it.

Now past the point of what's the point
I don't think I'll be coming back
unless it's as a playing card
and then you can call me Jack.
