Things Die Down For a Bit

things die down for a bit
i put on an old 45 and become hooked
if i do not slow it down i know i will have a fit
i put on a second 45 and i am fully booked

dust is flying everywhere
this time here is for me
i have been a professional listener for too long
other peoples' problems can take a back seat for a spell

things die down for a bit
i put on an old 78 and become hooked
if i do not take some time and rest the body i know i will have a fit
put put on a second 78 and i am fully booked

static is frying up sound all around the space
this extended moment here is for me
i have been a certified housesitter for too long
other peoples' fun can bring up the rear in my mind for a spell

things die down for a bit
i pop in an old cassingle and become hooked
if i do not tone it down and lay low a bit i know i will have a fit
i pop in a second cassingle and i am fully booked

there is no other feeling than that of being with yourself
when a person cannot help you, you yourself is all that you have
somewhere within the vibe of the moment i take the time to pray to God
it is then that i feel complete....and the saga as i know it continues....
