Out of This World

nobody knows where I’m going
I am not a child of this world  
they say I’m just passing through
but I know the difference between the lines
of hate and love in a haunted world where the rain falls hard
and the fools run the show
Time is not on my side
And I don’t see straight down the line 
I see the curve that we can’t make at this speed
Put the break on and call the dogs home
It’s never to late to call it a day
Leave it to the people who care
Cause I’m the lonely type
Cigarettes and beer
window down walking down the track
waiting for a train out of this world

"I am not a child of this world " It's okay to be an alien or feel alienated from this world. Powerful lines Stephen....loneliness draws on in this little narrative. I'm hoping you are well. Always Laura

Hi Laura- I've been staying low with my friends down under. Coming up for air when I find a computer that can hit the internet. Till they I'll be on a walk about.

Well written about the senselessness of the world. Much truth in this!
