lyrics

Moses woke wide eyed
thinking how
thinking what
thinking where he would go
venturing onto and unto and into a brand new day

singing in a language
only he spoke
only he knew
only he sang in its key
but, it didn’t matter
because the song didn’t make any sense at all

pulling on his clothes
which he didn’t want to
didn’t care to
didn’t think it should matter at all
whether he was naked, purple haired, short or ten feet tall

walking out the door
looking at the people
looking at the sidewalks
looking at the way the world was built
brick by brick
stone by stone
it was created by some sarcastic rich man

looking at the alleyways
people’s sad eyes
glazed over
people feeling the pain
or people so drugged out that they didn’t know any better

looking at the fools
fools for money
fools for love
fools enough to care
for plastic people who have forgotten what it is to live

he began to get sick
but, he was used to it
it was normal
he didn’t hardly feel it at all
the funny part of it was, the bums didn’t either

he sat down by the street
closed his eyes
closed his soul
sank into a peaceful sleep
he was one with the people
and far away from his heart

as the world rolled on
rolled all over him
rolled all over him
rolled all over him
rolled all over him
