Needle In The Dark
With progress comes problemsWith wisdom comes ageWith lessons come learningAnd pleasure comes with painYou can only have the sunshineAfter the rain
I took a walk, it got me thinkingLeft foot right footSmiling blinkingBreath out breath inSomehow linkingMy soul to my mindAnd my heart to my mouthLost and the foundAnd the north to the southAnd the corners to the circle in my mind
We may find that the gate has been lockedAnd we come back down to what we really areRetrace the footprints of the path that is lostIt's like trying to find a needle in the dark
My hands they are empty, but they are cleanI'm poor but I'm healthy and half betweenThe gutter and the skyline
So I took a walk to the lands end, yeahThinking about an ex-girlfriend that I hadAnd the pages that I've turnedAnd it seems to me that we all love the chaseBut once we're caught we feel encagedBehind bars of love and trust uprootedWe're drunk in lust by peoplePeople just like usYeah, and peoplePeople just like us
And yeahYou may find that the gate has been lockedWhen we come back down to what we really areYeah, retrace the footprints of the path that's been lostIt's like trying to find a needle in the dark
So I took a walk to the stationLost in my imaginationHaving private conversations with myselfAnd I'm just stumbling aroundAnd I wait for the soundFor this crumbling town to come tumbling downAnd people say that I'm just bumming aroundBut I've had both my ears to the groundTo the ground...Oh, yeah (To the ground...)
