Coming Down Slowly

coming down slowly
stop light welcome mat
negativity has no laxatives
minus sign forever constipated
wanna pick you up by making you get down
got some 40s rhythm and blues for you to vibe to
the pending divorce has you wanting to pull out your hair
poetic lefty to the rescue

coming down slowly
yellow light reluctant function
following the light to pure goodness
revived and revitalized thanks to a full eight hours of good sleep
wanna pick you up by making you get down
got some 70s gospel funk for you to get your praise on to with a kick
the longer than expected schooling for you banging your head against the wall
poetic lefty to the rescue

relax your wearied mind
allow me to reintroduce you to that unique smile of yours
i got the caesar salad prepared for you with the bleu cheese dressing that you cravy
i hooked you up with the ice cold bottled water as well
wanna pick you up by making you get down
you tell me to put on some nancy wilson
i catch your drift and the Sweet Spirit Queen's request
