The Man In the Middle

In a blue sky The sun was crying all the day Didn't say why Felt it hadn't had to say Cause all the players in the play With forgotten parts have walked off stage Mumbling tongue twister tangled lines Like lost Edenic fruitless vines Lip syncing someone else's words To where emotions become absurd Happy madness The path you walk is a waterway It's a tad past The time to roll the stone away But you may see them with a frown Like a painted circus clown Facial features frozen in grotesque Purist form so statuesque In an eternal gaze to stare At a lock of her serpent hair But I've been waitin so long So long, I've been waitin Quite the showman A solar eclipse cast on cue End time's omen Equals seats for one hell of a view Yet you may see them with a smile That they borrowed for awhile But like plastic flowers on the lawn Care not that Spring has passed on For everyone all is the same Stagnated without change But I've been waitin so long So long, I've been waitin But I've been waitin so long So long, I've been waitin Yeah
