waiting for a train
by
Obsidian Wind
Frozen in Time A moment To clear the Mind
Close your Eyes Imagine a Dream
Add your Dream to All of the Others
What do we Get Can you Live this Dream
Is this Dream Good for You While Harming None
Buster on a bike screaming about
Free love / We can love them
But they won't love us
Buster on a bike, what are you saying
Make him a king, At least he'll
Speak his mind
Take a Moment Close your Eyes
Imagine a Dream of Love
Where we all are Connected
And will not harm
Were we so far away
When we turned back
How far down this tube must we go
Before the Light disappears
And we lose our way
A couple of hells ago
I took this name
Frought iron danger Weak in the Knees
Fast becoming strangers Pretty as you please
Plastic as a dragon Spastic as a flea
I ride in on a purple thermidor
Seeking out the places noone
Ever wants to go, where the
Dark shines too brightly
Where the air is too thin
Cider press Ice cream crank Dial phones
Watches that go around and around
Getting your water from a spring
Down to the corner candy store
For licorice and squirrels
Grandma buzzing the cars on the curb
Scaring the kiddies for a thrill
Who cares if someday they end up
On the run or on the wrong side of a gun
Ever present danger Vigilance is key
Make sure you don't drop off
Watching your TV
Who knows what goes on
Inside those colors
And that flashing tube
Painting the walls in
Constantly shifting hues
I drift into the other world
Full of spirits and beings of light
Styrofoam cup doing circles in the wind
On the pavement across the tracks
Flag pole rope gives another snap
And everybody's waiting for a train.
