lyrics

I'm having flashbacks
I'm having flash forwards
I'm in the fast lane dusting off the dashboard
Mastered the pratfall but laughs didn't last long
So off of the asphalt and back into rare form
I do it how I do, no apology forthcoming
All fun and games 'til I learned I'd been
Off putting, hope fleeting, toss turning, same song
Hot, sunny, cold and my nose running, rained on
And on and on
Now, arrival was belated
With evolutions made in the rhythm that's demonstrated
But it's all for the better now, part of the plan
That I doubt I'll ever fully understand, approaching land

Approaching Land from the outer sands
Walked upon the fortunes of a foreign land
Endured the plight of man
Recite the teacher’s words on the other hand
Just to feed my forebears and seed their foreheads

Approaching Land from the outer bands
Walked upon dreariness of sinking sands
Addressed the fallen man
Dressed in whale skins from out the belly of beast
Sharpened my teeth
From west to east


Crept from out the bar bashed
Po’ chalkin the starbender
Codependent emotions and last wishes
Dirt under my fingernails dust encoded my riches
Watch heavy their eyes shiver me timbers
Breathe deep, release the grimace
Ignite the night to set a fire in my queen’s eyes
Foreshortened on a chaise lounge
Down my way now
They shoppin loosies down in K-town
But i’m okay now
Since half a twenty I don’t play round
I only play towns

They say I’m blessed upon it
They rest their heart and soul upon me like a chest of onyx
My mind is hydroponic
My hand’s a gin and tonic
My pens a benzedrine
The way it enter fiends
Lung stream fulfill the dream
I know it physically and mentally
How they kill a man physically and mentally
But don’t remember me
Cuz I been dead since a child who first saw the evil in man
Now just a ghost — Approaching Land
