Hoisting The Flag |
You should go where you want |
Mexico or Milan. |
If you want my opinion, |
I have one and a million. |
All I ask is you come back in time. |
Well, you know what you want |
And the ticket says where to find it. |
Then there’s no point in starting |
And approach with some barking |
May I ask you to come back in time? |
I will volunteer to serve your brave attempts, |
To listen while you chant, |
To hold your microphone, |
To serve what I resent. |
You are hard on yourself. |
You say no very well. |
Making plans for the others |
Make them shine for their lovers. |
I just pray that you plan to come home |
We fainted in the same position. |
Floating proves to be suspicion. |
Our laws don’t have night vision. |
Just reason free from passion |
And I can never question you, |
As long as you’re around. |
And you’re always around |
I will volunteer to serve your brave attempts, |
To listen while you chant, |
To hold your microphone |
To serve what I resent. |
You make it sound so easy, |
Like Steely Dan, not cheesy. |
And I can never question you. |
You’re always there to make the rules |
But never there to break them. |
In fact |
I better write down |
'hoisting the flag.' |
You should go if you want to. |
Leave no hopes. |
Hopes don’t come true. |
And you call, I’ll be crawling |
To forget what I’m drawing |
If at all, you come back at all |
If you leave, please come back in time |
