2007-08-07 - downtowngroundsound

think fast but don't neglect
the past repo in retrospect
bring everything you know into the magic
some things are just for show
some things you must let go
and other things - well, let's just say it's tragic
how people will let fear control their movement
and hunker down into their own behovement...
who's on point?
who keeps it tight?
who flips the script and quips it right?
who's your daddy
when you're down?
who's your steady
is he around?

who's without one defect?

none of us is perfect...

none of us is cool
when hardball is the rule
everyone's a fool
packs ego like a mule
each puts on his game face
and stares into the night
watching from the same place
until it's time to fight

some go out for glory
some go out to die
some retell the story
but history doesn't lie

every man is mortal
every hero knows
the oracle will fortell
but never quite disclose
the phantom of soap opera
the drama of the spoof
the random fubar pop rah
the unexpected goof
the undetected cop car
the unprotected sex
the infra-ready chopper
the high speed chase defects
the fly within the ointment
the dagger in the cloak
the final disappointment
the axe that felled the oak

everyone knows how to save a ship once it's been sunk
every social drinker is a loner when he's drunk
every saint's a sinner
every good girl pants
a loser is a winner
if he gets another chance

and nothing lasts forever
even marriage ends in death
unless the two must sever
the one thing that gives love breath

One will triumph in the end
And only One is perfect
Constant change can be your friend
If you know how to work it

in the backyard of your dreams
and just beyond the fence
is a voice that barely screams
in future and past tense:

"venture is the artform
innovation is the wave
expression must depart from
all convention that you save
but stay in time and measure.
don't wander off the scale
The very thing you treasure
might not be what must prevail
Now sustain
Let it refrain
at the focal point of all that must remain
now let it go
and take it slow
let that vibration resonation start to flow..."

now you may turn your head away
and think it's all insane
you may choose to laugh and say
"no thanks" I'll trust my brain
but as you look around you
at the chains that tie you down
remember: they'll impound you
six feet deep below the ground.
