lyrics

Trinidadian traffic jam, tears under dome light
Submarine, sonar sound, hollow ring, droning box kite
Flying high, flying low, under ¾ moonlight
Ocean, you owe me.

Over that mountain peak, there is just more confusion
I was fooled into thinking I’m immune to delusion
I’ll believe anyone who confirms this illusion
So I’ll stay where I’m loved

A third hand source once told me
“Beware of relevancy”
So a third place horse is what I’ll be
And I’ll be spared any whips

From the salt of the earth comes the next free world leader
Sprouted from briar patch and it nearly did bleed her
And some crows stole her clothes but untangled and freed her
And now her empire feeds her

We’re seated by our middle names
The ones with two must give one away
I slam the door shut and I say
“Ellis climbed the trellis!”
