Noise Inside My Brain
Underneath the glow of dusk
I see some street people that busk
An open case just by their feet
And people dancing to their beat
They do the songs they know so well
That people have to sit a spell
I seat myself to watch a bit
What do you know they play a hit
And then I rise to walk away
But turn back round to hear them play
A song I have not heard for years
It makes me think and brings some tears
It’s something from my horrid past
I’m just kidding my life’s a blast
We sure can say we did it right
And even did without a fight
My mind is noise inside my brain
That has me racing like a train
My hopes are that I don’t derail
If impaired I’d go to jail
Never drink and drive around
You may never get to make a sound
Like a wolf howling at the moon
Goodnight my friends I’ll see you soon
