PAY ATTENTION

It’s hard to pay attention
when you’re running someone else’s race.
Man put you down,
Put you in your place

I can see you down by the riverside…
Might jump in
you got the look in your eye

I really want to know…
Is it easy to let go?
Living on skid row
With no tomorrow

Ba da da etc.

So you had a motive…
One shot to steal a hundred grand;
You tried the glove,
Didn’t fit your hand

And in a darkened room of cherry wood
You cast off, I hope she understood

but…
I really want to know…
Is it easy to let go? 
Your spirit alone;
It had it’s own glow

Who of us,
Can make your body breathe for once?
Who of us?
Never know, never reach for healing touch.

Did I fail to mention
You’re being held down with weights
On the ground, 
the thought escapes

The moon is shining bright tonight
