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!!
