Tale of the Tongue |
The time is coming ripe |
We are running fast |
I see you coming closer |
Closer to the mask |
Come closer treat me softly |
Where can the dreamer be? |
How far we’ve come to know |
How much we’ve come to see |
And when I ask you softly |
Oh what the real men saw |
As I hit the roof again |
Oh what the dreamer saw |
The street still screams |
The street still screams of garbage thoughts |
The stain of anxious guys |
Still we glimpse the faintest note |
Of some battered somnambulant men |
Of the desire to know the whys |
The street still screams |
Fixed notions fashion them |
Their rules police the street |
No chance of Latin way |
Hold down to crude belief |
Lassoed in the charges' web |
Locked inside the nation’s pride |
To boast the red of freedom’s move |
They take the purple side |
I’m told from day to day |
Gaol slip from behind |
We are the guards of our mistakes |
Off and running blind |
So the dreamer speaks in time drunk wine |
Take the coming day |
If I seem to lag behind |
Whisper me the way |
The street still screams |
