Uninvited

I was walking a narrow road uncharted
and realized that you were on the opposite side 
I crossed the road looking to find some direction  
Fascinated, I ask how I could hitch a ride

You told me I'd need to have money 
‘don't be cheap honey’ 
I said ‘I've never needed any, sorry 
but don't worry’

The currency in this land is different 
You pay in secret effect 
They will be the writers on my wall still 
While they say to rectify my defect 

They say ‘if I could watch your descent,
that is what I would do 
But I can't, so pardon me 
If I pretend not to have a clue
