Took a Walk

i took a walk outside
see what i could see
wonder in my eyes
..people watching me..

day was dark and cold
autumn in the air
searchin' for religion
..children stop and stare..

a king without a country
a joker in the pack
an ace inside my pocket
..diamond in the back..

a loner on the street
lost-among the found
i'm on a distant corner
..only one around..
