Bugle Boy

The country is riddled with social ills & aches,

But my heart is calmed by her embrace,

I'm trying to tell something to the world,

- but my words are slurred & slow,

Have you ever been caught up in a dream,

Where your legs were froze.



I was left alone, with my thoughts and my guitar.

But it felt hopeless,

Like the desire of the moth - for the star.



Sometimes... nothing seems unreal,

This strange little boy said

"mister, play us your guitar" & i said -

"no... i can't"

& put my geetar, in the car-

Listening to the music of heaven & earth,

Have you ever thought you were the

- most important thing in the universe.



I didn't know whether to strengthen my

Weaknesses - or play to my strengths.

Yeah...

I was trapped in the triviality of

- everydayness.



I said.

"there's magic in my head, girl.

But i only use it when i'm depressed"

I don't suppose she heard me.

She was too busy admiring her dress.

I said - just young - & - well intentioned,

Who can save us now.

- the world rots...

I did know the secret of the universe

... only i forgot!!
