lyrics

Set upon by satellites
Your need for speed has served you right
Your nickel-plated hope and star
Your candy-coated 2-inch scar
Might disagree with ways and means
Might charm the snakes that hold your knees

But now you see it, now you don’t
You bought a truck, to tote your rope
Why disagree?
Why do the math?
This opportunity is slipping past.

I see
I see what you see
I see the ways and means
But stay between
But stay between

Staring down the barrel
Of another holy man

It’s a hobo life for hobo Sam
He’s making quite a living on the hobo plan
He says, “If I die before I wake,
I pray the lord my soul to take

I see
I see what you see
I see the ways and means
But stay between
But stay between


I’ve been a pen-slinger
In all these evil times
I’ll write about despots, robots
And Teapot Dome.

I check the time

I see
I see what you see
I see the ways and means
But stay between
But stay between

The sound embraces with a clinched smile, and then stumbles and occasionally falls only to somehow prop itself back up for another round. ... more
