Sometimes Sometimes, All these peeps give me the friggin creeps, Yuppies and geeks with all their honks and beeps, Buncha Babylonian freaks. Just a solo flyer, Soaring higher and higher, Just a lonely rider, An outlaw, an outsider, A player without a team, Just running down a dream, Fishing on a stream, I may be a pirate, but Im no marauder, Just casting my bread out on the water, Feeding the kids with soul food, Im old school dude, Just a bird on a wire, A pit without a fire, On my way to God knows where, Hope Ill know when I get there, Im sick of this crap, Gonna break this trap, Bust out the trusty ol map, Pack up my pack and get back on track, Back on my "way", The Free Way, The High Way, I sailed, But somehow I failed, Got derailed and jailed, Knocked me down and stole my crown, But I get back up again, this time to win, A Fisher of Men, When a shark takes the bait, Be sure he's sealed his fate, I pull in my nets, Sort through the catch, Keep the good and throw back the rest, We never rest, Alert and prepped for the test, We are the best of the best, Its a spiritual war on a material battlefield, The weapons of this world are not what we wield, Writing songs and righting wrongs, Ringing bells, Wisdoms wells send forth tidal swells, Opening doors, With the master key, Let go the moores, Set yourself free, The roaming gnome has no permanent home, A drifter in the twilight zone, Unparalelled in a paralell world, A vortex where the swirls get swirled, Just a tramp on a ramp, A bum on the run, Not looking for fun in the sun, Rather, diligently seeking for the One, The path that paralells mine for the rest of time, Does it exist? Is there more to life than this? Is there true love out there, That One with flowers in her hair, Where? Where? Tell me where to go an Ill be there, Ill leave right now, Ill get there someway, Somehow, Its in the stories, the movies, it cant be wrong, Its in the books, in the songs, Now Im sounding like Dr. Seuss, Its no use, Its just no use, Horse out from under me, Head in a noose, Peace, 42
