I Can't See A Way Out - 5:31
Crica 2005. Written over a long time in stages.
The quick explanation: it's about drug addiction.
The longer explanation: will come later.
The music: will also come later, probably with the music to a few other songs.
I walk down around the corner
Out searching, looking for love
Past the girls skipping and playing
Singing their song of laughter and love
This song goes out to you
Can you hear it
I kind of hope that you don't
Out for a stroll down to the stores
Passed the children looking for hugs
A penny saved was never worth much
To a man in a world so full of thugs
I've walked with the wolves in many a tar pit
The legs feed the beast, sometimes we run
I've rode with the captain, barking his orders
Spreading the wings, the lackeys now numb
This song goes out to you
Can you hear it
I kind of hope that you don't
It was sung by the girls
The children laughing
But I can't remember the words
I've seen grace so close I could touch it
Reach out and feel her warm embrace
Though temporally beautiful
You never looked that pretty dressed in lace
I've sailed out across the oceans
Sailed far and wide searching for land
I've flown high in the sky
Been up so high I've almost drowned
A heart beat throws a plan asunder
Sending a rhythm far underground
I've seen the colors and heard all the chords
But my guitar can't carry it now
This song goes out to you
Can you hear it
I kind of hope that you don't
It was sung by the girls
The children laughing
But I'm not sure how it goes
This song goes out to you
Can you hear it
I kind of hope that you don't
I sent it out
On the radio
But I can't see a way out
I went for a walk down to the corner
To catch up with the widows out selling love
Passed the girls singing and playing
Not knowing the world is making them drugs
This song goes out to you
Can you hear it
I kind of hope that you don't
It was sung by the girls
The children laughing
But I don't remember it, no
This song goes out to you
Can you hear it
I hope one day that you do
I sent it out
On the radio
But I can't see a way out
No I can't see a way out
No I can't see a way out
No I don't see a way out
Turn out the lights
Crawl around on the ground
Try and feel your way out
Try to feel a way out
