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
