you

you have draped me in your words, pictures,

common things that would pass

right by most people I daresay, but I have a nose

for these things

and I know what's going on in your mind even when

maybe you don't know it yourself

at the same time, my time here is theadbare

I feel i'm only renting time

I want you to save me so I can save you

but how does that sound when you really spell it out?

people tell you to grow up, you feel like feinting

though you're the toughest person on earth

I could be dead, I could be a corporate CEO

but I'd never find you in all these multitudes, it's true

dog packs to prowl, pigs rich and scowling, and sheep to prune

so I adopt a simple life, a safe life

by donning nothing at all

Jesus, you see, he was wearing almost nothing at all

but you, you are a mystery

that my mind wants to find intruiguing

I'm so tired of people steeped in arts, tired farts

who pretend their way through life

join me at the bridge, Charles or Charlemagne, what's in a name?

we'll spin the night away in a solid block of parades.
