Lost In Middle Aged Vortex

Lost in the vortex Of Retrograde happy days All is peachy bright Smiles ignite money tossing everywhere With ego comes might With challenge comes pretension With hypocrisy comes abstaining Well at least for... I've seen the dull buzzards ignite Fizzling tar smoke, allowing Porcelain dolls to take center stage And I should be laughing, happy free What is wrong with me? Born with too much on my plate I should just relax and abate Instead of attempting rewiring Like the emperor of electrical engineers Maybe i should just drink a beer Slowly letting my head hit the bar tab The bartender is pouncing tonite She has a fistful of dreams Hidden under those pacifier eyes Shes out for blood and revenge I go out to smoke the skyline Absorbing dripping atmosphere Something tells me I've been here a million times before I've seen where all these shadows run to I guess i was hoping for more Like some hidden city uncovered I'm searching for gold Beyond the belabored Somehow we just cant make it tonight I'm gonna back into my cave To hatch a plan
