SONG OF NOW

Ice age, heat wave, can't complain
If the world's at large why should i remain
Walked away to another plane
Gonna find another place, maybe one i can stand
i move on to another day
to a whole new town with a whole new way
went to the porch to have a thought
got to the door, and again i couldn't stop
you don't know where and you don't know when
but you've still got your words and you've got your friends
walk along to another day
work a little harder, work another way
well uh-uh, baby, i ain't got no plan
well i'll float on, maybe would you understand
gonna float on, maybe would you understand
well i'll float on, maybe would you understand
the days get shorter and the nights get cold
i like the autumn but this place is getting old
i pack up my belongings and i head for the coast
it might not be a lot but i feel like i'm making the most
the days get longer and the nights smell green
i guess it's not surprising but it's spring and i should leave
i like songs about drifters, books about the same
they both seem to make me feel a little less insane
walked on off to another spot
i still haven't gotten anywhere that i want
did i want love, did i need to know
why does it always feel like i'm caught in an undertow
the moths beat themselves to death against the lights
adding their breeze to the summer nights
outside, water like air was great
i didn't know what i had that day
walk a little farther to another plan
you said that you did but you didn't understand
i know that starting over is not what life's about
but my thoughts were so loud i couldn't hear my mouth
my thoughts were so loud i couldn't hear my mouth
my thoughts were so loud
I know that starting over's not what life's about
But my thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth
My thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth
My thoughts were so loud

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Raleigh, North Carolina, United States

I'm that nice black dude who is friends with everyone, who dresses in Roca Wear and Nike, yet lives in the richest-assed neighborhood ever, that listens to things varying from Coltrane to Modest Mouse to DJ Taka, and who is both emo and cheerful at the same time. In short, I'm just plain crazy.
