Got a lot going on this weekend, had to throw a hail mary. Here's a story about me judging people I see on the train. I wanted to do an episodic thing with a quatrain devoted to each individual's story, ended up missing that mark, but I just don't have time this week. It's pretty depressing, and very Dale, and there's quite of bit of work that would need to happen to make the lyric worth anything. Pretty enough thing though. Not terrible to listen to, I guess.
lyrics
Latte morning on the number 5
Short delay looks like someone died
Cold as hell but I’m alive
Wish it'd happen on company time
Hooker boots and a porcelain gaze
Your silk paper looks seem so out of place
So put together but you walk in a daze
Fast lane living and barely keepin' pace
Judge you all through my narrow lens
Gasping for air through the pain of the bends
All I've done and I can't make amends
Tell all your stories a little too intense
Maybe I’m just free
Strollin' asphalt all alone
Maybe it's you and me
All of us bound to roam
Maybe it's the sadness
Playin' colors with my mind
Maybe it's the whirly bits
Made my reason done unwind
Don't look now, what's coming through the door
Salary man just peeled himself off of the floor
Party's over, bet he's feelin' kinda sore
Choices made, but still he's wanting more
A little chatter of tin, out steps urban night
All these people going about their lives
So many stories and so little time
Dreams about you help me understand mine
Salary man, a geisha, and a couple thieves
Staring out windows, on phones, seeking relief
High class livin', the cost is mighty steep
It still ain't worth stepping out for a leap
