Lucky Strikes
Keatzi Gunmoney May 2013
You are a Lovechild
You like to feel your Midnights rise
If we could bottle your arrival we would
We know how to mark a good hide
That's just the way the Market goes
People like to sing. Eyes closed.
Tell us what you came for.

Since you're a woman,
You and I will have the Blues.
If we're throwing our secrets in a fire
Then what is there left to lose?
Its not everyday that Lady Luck gives smiles
Since that's the case,
we'll be here for a while.

I want to light a fire unto your crown,
So you can light the way into the shroud.
How am I supposed to see
Beyond my cigarette?
They call the place I live the Lost and Found.
I want to feel your Touch when you're around.
How about the dark,
A place to put your lights on?

Come tomorrow, not just anyone will do.
But you lie to yourself about the Promise.
Hoping it comes true.
Even cat callers agree its not the best.
Since the lights are out whose Patience will you test?

They call them Lucky Strikes,
But I still feel the same.
There were so many words
I desperately needed to change.
This is the story of how I opened up my arms
And built a Lighthouse on the rocks
Where everyone belongs.

So come one. Come all.
Come one. Come all.
Come one. Come all.

I mad. I'm in love.
When you faint,
I'm the glove
That will hold you.
Until the Nightmares give you up.
Lyrics to my song "Lucky Strikes"
