As a stranger you slipped into my back pocket.
Filling the inset with tokens of good-byes.
Twenty-four hour chips turned over to years of near misses and heavy sighs!
The gravity to our kinship would never correlate on paper.
Before, the gathering, a rainbow’s pride had been just another friendship…
I had learned to hide.
An elk’s ashtray weighed down by Marlboro Reds and Camels.
A one person parade…
Playing out drunken disorderly in a public display of charades.
That is when this belligerent bond had been made.
Babies having babies for greed and doping needs.
The rebel in you, as soiled as, the dirt beneath my feet.
And, every time, I picked myself up off the ground…
Your town line is where my grime could be found.
As a strange friend you are the…Acme Staple Factory on a road that dead ends.
My best guess?
No one ever chooses to begin again.
Unless they have a stranger for a strange friend.
Things Have Changed – Bob (need I say more) Dylan
No one in front of me and nothing behind
There’s a woman on my lap and she’s drinking champagne
Got white skin, got assassin’s eyes
I’m looking up into the sapphire tinted skies
I’m well dressed, waiting on the last train
Any minute now I’m expecting all hell to break loose
I’m locked in tight, I’m out of range
I used to care, but things have changed
I’m in the wrong town, I should be in Hollywood
Just for a second there I thought I saw something move
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag
Ain’t no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag
Only a fool in here would think he’s got anything to prove
Don’t get up gentlemen, I’m only passing through
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I’ve been trying to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can’t win with a losing hand
Putting her in a wheel barrow and wheeling her down the street
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I’ve been trying to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can’t win with a losing hand
You can hurt someone and not even know it
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity
Gonna get low down, gonna fly high
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I’m love with a woman who don’t even appeal to me
I’m not that eager to make a mistake
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I’ve been trying to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can’t win with a losing hand
