Blind by the light
High as a kite
Fifty five kilos is still kinda light
Five foot seven is no kinda height
As long as I'm driven I'll make it through the night
Roaming through the darkness
Like my heart's Tony Starkest
The night's starless
Is my future star kissed
I wander from the bar pissed
Got a track with a harpist
Just a jingle in my brain
But I'll bring it all the same
These words can't contain
But I'm contained in these words
The message is blurred
But its simple to be heard
Picked up the shovel and the shovel and the pick
Now im level in my shit
And I struggle and I slip
My family just packed
Cos my tactics just lacked
Thought I might slip through the crack
But ill have them right back
Been singing many moons
Put my gloom over tombs
When the phantom resumes
It'd be wise to assume
That I rise with the sun
And all that lies within the sun
On the run, I'd be dumb
But I slum number one
A rumble in my tum
A dark glass of rhum
My whisky boat's rocking
My l'eau de vie's come
It's so to be glum
I'm slow to be fun
I throw the hope
Row the boat
Just to be done
To the path that I clung
When I'm thirty years young
Gather up the crumbs
In the haunts where I hung
My humdrum heart drawn lung leave you stung
So just take a toke and pass to someone
Some will succumb and be sold by the sum
Just take a toke and pass to someone
Stuck in a groove of a half time blues
But I got nothing to lose
So I just loosen my shoes
My fingers tap the ivories
She had a sly eye for these
Read my mind like libraries
Diagnosed my disease
No matter what I believe
I leave on a fresh note
Hunger getting steely
Capellini green Pesto
My appetite grows
Like dynamite blows
In a stalagmite pose
Where I saddle my woes
Raggamuffin clothes
The muffin man knows
I'm plucking banjos
And stuffing down my prose
Fish the flies out my wine
But im not one to whine
About life's slow decline
Sometimes I rewind
Benign philanthropic
Sunshine in the tropics
Dance around the topic
Of the beat when they drop it
My throat's giving in
From this life it's living in
But I found a magic ointment
Need a wife to rub it in
So thanks for stopping in
Now it's time to be snugging in
My world's a rugged inn
But that's where my love begins
Welcome to my reality
Southern hospitality
Get your feet tapping
Like a hereditary malady
It's slow to be glum
I'm slow to be fun
I throw the hope
Row the boat
Just to be done
To the path that I clung
When I'm thirty years young
Gather up the crumbs
In the haunts where I hung
My humdrum heart drawn lung leave you stung
So just take a toke and pass to someone
Some will succumb and be sold by the sum
Just take a toke and pass to someone
