about
A song about being temporary. Feeling like your running from life or running to the next point in life. A loss of home and self. Escaping the fugitive sense of finding one's true self.
lyrics
[Intro]
I don't mind, what I don't know
I wont go where I ain't supposed to be in this town
[Verse 1]
I would rally to slay the sun, cataracts are all spun and crack symphonies muttering truths to boost the mal-funk
We the realest of all raws, the sight of Ray Charles, the vice of lock-jaw, run amock by overconfidence
[Bridge 1]
Sorry old boy with a sorry old sound and he lives downtown by the merry-go-round
Gives his bread up to the gulls, and he loses hope in search of those,
loves the whales and he loves his sails, but he lost his life on the tragic trail
Bus pass ass ain't goin' to class, ain't goin to this, ain't goin to that
[Verse 2]
Yeah the acid trippin' sovereign the jockin' in the villas that be rockin and we costin' men that pretend that fiction offering
the butterfly flutter subtle, the shutter is running cut throat, the color is subtle tricklin' all on the newest sick trends,
fixin without the mixin the brittle shackles had to jock the little shadows, split the rift while the richter rips our castles, gimme the loot like a jackal, carve with it like heiroglyphics, insisted by literature, man eat your biscuits!
[Bridge 2]
Milky way been gone a day, been a really tough time to fade away
planets hot, yeah, it's Everclear near,
and he owes his years to the shoreline pier,
sundown round to the aerial sea,
been a pack of pickin' pockets with two left feet,
runaway high and come home low,
but home is nowhere he can go...
[Chorus1]
Ain't no places them ruby slippers don't know,
stylish lipstick just to come back and steal the show,
I put sapphires in my eyes just to try and let her know,
before long she was going to someone else's show
[Chorus 2]
She's a gypsy and a fighter, she took my heart of gold
When I moved out all my pictures and prints were already sold
a'many roads, either direction shows a greener place to live
changing your name for them, you impermanent fugitive...
