Friday's Tie-Dye Nightmare Lyrics |
||
 In Friday`s tie-dye nightmareI 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 |
