Wayward
Dreaming is dumb living is flight
Falling for a victim is a sentiment of being nothing but a shadow to the night
I will get there, grab the bank,one way or another this lonely desperate rubble
Held me down to slumber, dragged my ass through the gutter
But I am not a lonely desperate mother f**
Its green on that side, takes green to walk that side, in the glory land of merchant lords of global entrepreneurial world utter.
I see it there
I can shake that hand and slide right into that row bleeding hearts no more there than on the gutter row back in slumber
But I see it there and I play that hand I can win it there because I know how to live down in the gutter
I'm going to work my way to the trade marking those Jones and Dows and the global parade on that graduation day all the same as the NY stock exchange
That's the dream job for this dumb kid that been dreaming a life counting stocks on the rise counting cards late at night and scrapped a nickel and every dime
To slip over to the side where the green smells different and pure and kind
No bleeding hearts over there either just a different count on the number
a few more digits to get this poor dumb dreaming kid the hell out of the slumber
Nothing more nothing dreaming nothing different that's in the mind its what you do with that
IT IS IN THE MIND
