Another Mountain

Here comes another mountain to hike
Here comes another step to climb
Lace them shoes

Gotta get me a getaway
Gotta move that locomotion
Past the blues

Seamless are the colors in the sky
Airplanes looping cities that they fly
I move a thousand miles and nothing changes deep inside
The masses mold my mind

     I ascend in a tailspin
     I drown amidst the atmosphere
     Vertigo becomes a good friend,

     Present in my fear, knock knock knock knock knock, drawing near

Here comes another mountain to hike
Here comes another step to climb
Lace them shoes

Gotta get me a getaway
Gotta move that locomotion
Past the blues

Streetlights casting shadows ‘long the way
Vultures circling their prey
The oldest man, he lifts his hand, the youngest stop their play
Goodness fades away

     Don’t want to turn my back on friendship
     Can’t let the city take my life
     Just hanging on by a handle
     I roll the dice……and they cut me like a knife
 
Here comes another mountain to hike
Here comes another step to climb
Lace them shoes

Gotta get me a getaway
Gotta move that locomotion
Past the blues
