Sittin on the side of the street
Letting it all flow around me
The sights and sounds
The ghosts of others dreams
I catch bits and pieces
I close my eyes and soak it in...

Walking alone
Man dressed in black
The look in his eyes
A story to tell...
" I've been wandering
Lost for too long
Searching for my promised land
Looking for a home
My heart has been
In the driest desert places
A homeless nomad
Making due with what I find
Where will I find her
Who will she be
My promised lass
Where my heart can be free..."

Woman shuffled past
Eyes cast down
Doesn't look around
But her frown cries out...
" Should be easy to see
What's blinding me
But if I pull off the blinders
I won't be able to stand
I'll have all these reminders
Of what I can't stand
Can't live a life
Voluntarily blinded
From all life's strife
But don't want to be reminded"

Music's playing loud
Can't see the source
But his message is as clear
As the pain he shouts out...
" I'm a
Fat ugly f*uck
Wat don't belong
U can't convince me
Dat I'm wrong
I come along
Like a chunky duck
Waddlin thru
Don't give a f*ck
Ripped dudes laugh
Da females reject
Ain't never gonna get
No f*ckin respect
Ima chunky mutha
At da line ta eat
Gotta stuff myself
Git up n repeat
Don't gimme no sh*t
Git outta my way
Cuz some u mutha's
Gots ta pay!"

One more cool cat
Slides on by
It's easy to read
His self satisfied grin
"A raging beast
My hearts on the prowl
To spoil the innocent
And take what is mine
I'm so clever to hide
The fear inside
No one will tame me
No one will try
I cry and I roar
My impotence on display
I wish she would come along
Tame me and make me complete"

I get up and smile
The streets are full
Each passing story
Both a wonder and horror to see
I hope they find
Exactly what they should
As I make my way home
Looking for a chance
I wonder, what do others see
As I pass by their way...
