This Misty fog hangs idly on the lake
I love the image of my home cradled on the idle water
An albatross hanging on the door
colorful, a spread of electric blue, menses red, shit yellow
dark death seems smiling within the cheerful tones
wind is blowing wild and high
droplets are spraying on my face
I still can see thru the haze,
Its blurred to my sister, cleared for my sight
I'd say I'm sparing a thought a lil while
For the man standing with the brown paper bag on his face
They don't see him, nobody does
They say I've a li'l bend in my thinking can now
they say the cold has wrapped around me
and me here I'm feeling the swarm, a li'l numb
Nice lazy and cozy a nice abyss
But I'm thinkin' of the man with the brown paper bag on his face
Why is he hiding within the darkness
as if in fear of the exodus
why is he allowing me the vision
as if I'm the messiah who'd speak loud of him
I'd say I'm sparing a thought a li'l while
For that man standing with the brown paper bag on his face
They don't see him, nobody does.
A crowd, numerous figures, of sizes and shapes
Traversing the zig-zag lanes
embracing the green around tall wild grass,
shades of brown trunks as if a swat by the brush
A single living soul unseen
I move on and along
I could see him, the brown paper bag guy ahead of me
seemingly in a trance, movin' along
no one else could; my mother, my sister; no one
Is he treated bad here?
I connect in a telepathic manner
he says they don't think of now,
All they say and do is "who cares"
that's the generation - who cares
I'm hiding within, its just one of my visits
I'd say I'm sparing a thought a lil while
For that man standing with the brown paper bag on his face
They don't see him, nobody does.
I'd say I'm Sparing a thought a lil while
For the man standing with the brown paper bag on his face
They dont see him, nobody does

I love you more than the feet love to dance
I love you more than the hips love to swing
I hope to bloom in your love, I hope to sway in your love
I hope to reach the heavens with the love I've for you
I take my time to think about you
I take my time to thank about you
Its all but just about loving you.
I love you more than the green love the rain
I love you more than the tomb love the stone
I hope to bloom in your love, I hope to sway in your love
I hope to reach the heavens with the love ive for you

It's a roller coaster ride, I love
but a roller coaster ride
You start a slow slide on a straight road
and then it all begins
Up you go, happiness floods in a sort of charming high
A space high up, serenity all round, but all high
the slide down begins, the fear grips you,
your eyes closed you are out of bounds
A space way down, quietude all round, but real low
Its a roller coaster ride, I love
but a roller coaster ride
Up again and carried straight to heaven
Cheer and pride seeps in as if in gallons
a space high up, tranquil all round, but high
Down you slide, into the abyss of hell
Darkness floods in selfish and tired tears stream down
a space way down, peace all round, but low
Its a roller coaster ride, I love
but a roller coaster ride
Its goes on and on and on
Up and down, up and down
And that's what I love the roller coaster for
Heaven and hell, bright and dark
happiness and fear, excitement and thrill,
sadness and energy, depression and sloth....
It just moves on and on
and I'd say to you today, this lil thing
If you're feeling low, just remember even this would pass
If you're feeling high, just remember even this would pass
If you're feeling fear, just remember even this would pass
If your'e feeling thrill, just remember even that would pass
What's the fun devoid all this mayhem
whats the fun in just going round and round
A dip and a high, a weekday and a weekend,
what's the fun of a merry-go-round
The entertainment is in the juggling
the handling of the climb and the knee jerks
and the exaltation of reaching
the abode that was dreamt
the path would have had a few heartbreaks.
Its like the pain in the torn inner lips flesh
Biting deep within the pain is insufferable, but still you bite
cause the pain too has a lot of charm.
Its a roller coaster ride, I love
but a roller coaster ride
and I'll always love that....
