In Friday's tie-dye nightmare | |
I was trying to get from here to there | |
Walking to, passing through people everywhere | |
I got on at my station, running through the fire | |
Looking for an elevation that would get me a little higher | |
News of people dying, someone lying on the stair | |
Crying for the nation, can we offer up a prayer | |
There'll be a coronation, a fancy dress affair | |
We'll be lined up in formation, but we won't be going anywhere | |
Down the hellhole, trying to make my way | |
I couldn't get where I wanted, due to an unforeseen delay | |
The man was apologetic as he turned his head to say | |
Sorry, kid, you're not gonna make it home today | |
Hey mister, why'd you take my ticket away | |
Even more to the point, how come I let you | |
I could blame it all on you, or make up my mind to stay | |
I wish I knew a way I could forget you | |
I didn't read the fine print, y'gotta be on the ball | |
Some days I'm less confident, up against a wall | |
I wonder where my mind went, I should have made the call | |
I like to think I'm innocent, but then, don't we all | |
I got to the next location, hoping for the best | |
But another situation put me to the test | |
A man in black pants, a white shirt, and a red vest | |
Had fallen on the track and no one even got depressed | |
Or even guessed he wasn't putting on an act | |
Someone said he'd drunk too much | |
'Cause he was lying on his back | |
It was also duly noted that he happened to be black | |
There was a serious lack of anything right at all here | |
What's the difference--I didn't stop | |
The very least I could have done was call a cop | |
But I passed the news vendor, pursuing my agenda | |
And I like everyone else, I dropped the ball here | |
Still trying to get home, I saw a telephone | |
And put some coins I had found | |
They were supposed to work, they did for the man beside me | |
But when I dropped them in, they wouldn't go down | |
What is going on here | |
Will I ever know the truth | |
How do to deal with the time stealing away your daddy's youth | |
Story after story of disaster barely missed | |
You see, common miracles somehow do exist | |
And anyone can be kissed by lady fortune | |
So I gathered up my skirt and tucked my wallet in | |
Grabbed my bag and the sling I carried my girl child in | |
Funny she didn't cry, she wasn't scared at all | |
She could see a happy outcome in the patterns on the wall | |
And y'know | |
The next train was the right one, but not for the vested man | |
I try, but there's too many things I'll never understand | |
Y'gotta keep on going knowing someone's got a plan | |
For Friday's tie-dye nightmare and Monday's promised land | |
And there it is |
