Hello my name is Mark. I play gentleman's games. And I just slip through and creepin'. Through the night's parade. I shake a hand or two. I tip my hat to you..
Never wanna stand up for myself. Never wanna get in the way, I said it. I don't know what the plan is. But you can share with me, 'cause I'll. Be listening here.
Sometimes life it takes you by the hair. It pulls you down before you know it. It's gone and you're dead again.. I've been in places and I won't pretend.
Rise above, gonna start the war!. What you want, what you need, what'd you come here for?. Well, an eye for an eye and an 'F' for fight. They're taking me down as the prisoners riot.
Well I was caught inside the wreck. Never found my way out, I was filled with indifference. The animals, they were getting tired. So I sang them a song, 'cause they promised not to take too long.
I like to stick to walls. Observing conversations and lifting them when they fall. I am a fire escape, my spine's made of iron. My heart pumps that old red paint.
Walk little walk. Small, talk big thoughts. Gonna tell 'em all just what I want. That street, two streets, I see you and me. Hanging on the empty swings.
Hey turn around man I'm gonna take you downtown. You wanna grab the sac go ahead and do it. My fear and doubt is set in place by a lie. I glorify you that's the only way of life yeah.
Walk little walk Small talk big thoughts. Gonna tell them all just what I want. That Street two streets I see you and me. Hanging on the empty of swings.
Well I see ya standing there like a rabid dog. And you got those crying eyes. Makes me wanna surrender and wrap you in my arms. You know I try to live without regrets.
Today I walked through the door and fell down on my floor. Got all of my papers out and read them. Seems that I've been wanderin' for a little too long.
Put it back in on the vine with her system 8x. I'm sick, I've smoken up bud and leveled up. Just ring that bell up from the heavens into hell. (Intergalactic triad killer).
Yeah yeah. Yeah yeah. Yeah yeah. Yeah yeah. . I've broken every law. All the words come out my broken jaw. I don't know anything. But then I act like I know everything.
Call it what you want. Call it what you want. I said just call it what you want. Call it what you want. . Yeah we're locked up in ideas. We like to label everything.
When your best friend's all strung out. You'll do everything you can. 'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down. (When you find it all around). Yeah, it comes in waves, but it's hardest from the start.
Well I've tried to live like the way that you wanted me to.. Never needed the proof, just followed the rules.. I pick up the paces and I move my feet as fast as I can..
I can't blame you. I can't save you. But I will try for you & I. For you & I, I won't find out. All the dirty little things that you've done. But I will try.
I woke up on Champs-Élysées to the Djembe of Ghana. A fine lady from Belize said "You got the spirit of a Fela". A young one dripping make-up put her hands out to holla.
I wouldn't try to throw myself away. If you asked me, I'd say. To be careful my love. . At death we'll leave the same. If you want me to stay. Don't keep me waiting for it.
All my worst nights are the best times. West Coast stealing all my shut-eye. All my worst nights are the good kind. High life filtered through the lo-fi.
