Words and Music
by Raccoon
as recorded on Rainbow Warrior
On
a wind swept street in another city
I
was coolin' my feet and I sang a
little ditty
The
flagpole was tappin' – Keeping time
To
the song that I’m singin' and the squeaking of the
swingin' sign
If
you need a sign I think that’s fine, hey brother
Some
people’s signs are a little more faded than others – one another
All
roads lead home or so they say
All
my roads lead me back to the same highway
Don’t
you know the way things go it’s like a daydream? Yeah
No
matter how hard you try you can’t scream it seems
City
streets can make your mind blind
Reaching
for dreams that you might never find
Don’t
lose your grip 'cuz you might slip away
Excuse
me sir - Can you tell me the time of day?
I
think it’s time to start a rhyme without ending
Can
you hear my words of thought without my sending?
No
pretending
