10 – HALF A KITE

Faster. Faster. Faster.
Time spools off like red/white tape
Last chord echoing
You try to get your life in shape
Last wound still healing
Your latest loss as fresh as wet paint

Faster. Faster. Faster.
Traffic hums like angry bees
Cold rain splashing
Like half a kite in a chestnut-tree
Ripped, caught an´ trembling
A robbed out naked wino prayin´ for a saint

Faster. Faster. Faster
How with that hustling all around
Can I calm down?
Faster. Faster. Faster
How with all that hustling in my head
Can I calm down?

Faster. Faster. Faster.
Your life gets dragged along
An´ all the drummin´ from your blaster
The words, the rhymes, the chords, the images
Still don´t make a song

Faster. Faster. Faster.
Days drip down like meltin´ ice
Sticky, mouldy-sweet smelling
With twenty-one you´re livin´ twice
But that was when you were playing
Far away, forgotten, faint, so faint

Rufus, he sings Hallelujah
And Leonard smiles his charming weary smile
Chesnutt in his wheel chair plays the guitar
And everybody's dancing, everybody's dancing
Everybody's dancing Lady Gaga style

Faster. ...

Faster. Faster. Faster.
Like half a kite against a smoggy sky
A sleepless boy child sobbing
Still in mind the red dragon eye
On golden profile swaying
Prayin´ for a saint. Prayin´ for a saint

Faster. Faster. ... ...
