I see myself in the past time
Of legends
Struggling with the words
The chords of tomorrow
The world has a strobe light
In my eyes And in it I see dusk
And I see a warm beach
And a warm heart
And I see my love and life
Looking through the lens

I need a thesaurus
Maybe I need a stocking
Over my head
Rob the word factory
Learn a language

Learn a reaction observe a shell game
When it happens
Paint over the black board
Drunk and smiling
Simple syrup is needed for
Mojitos

My mind will continue to dance in rum
And in it I see the slight of hand
Card trick
That got my mind electrified

Hot circuits on
Whiskey tongues
Paradisio
