Songs made from passing cars
and the beating of my shoes on the pavement in the heat
lifted up to my own clouds
when it gets so loud, the signs and faces blur
blinded by the same condition
a thousand of us dance round the same forgotten fire
touched by your golden gaze
peeking through the hazy corner of my eye
a glance at the window in the doorway
tells me you have got a better man than I
smile as if you are on camera
putting on that show you do whenever we go pass each other by
sleep, i don't know the difference
between lying in my bed and running through the street
some say that's waking death
but i have learned to laugh at my silly waking dream
peace, have I made my peace?
or am i just entertained till something better dances past me?
