about

Fourth song from ten song LP.

lyrics

I admit myself a sinner I admit myself a fool I call myself a human that's no better than a mule Like a herdsman in the desert I kill for my food Survival my priority over those animals I rule

Then the city looked like chins that were poking from the bay Compacted concrete that will tumble down someday In the back of a taxi I saw a woman checking her phone As if a text message would cure her from feeling alone

O' morning, O' sleep Why must you play games with me? O' daylight, O' time Why must you mess with my mind?

I saw a hipster couple sitting down with a friend It was brunch on Sunday but only drinks put in them They were sitting around talking about art and what it all means They're quite good at dressing up but they never create a thing

In the sewers of the city I rode upon a train People sitting silently calling one man insane Who stood there preaching Jesus and how he could save They just put their heads in their New York Times and went on with their days

O' morning, O' sleep Why must you play games with me? O' daylight, O' time Why must you mess with my mind?

I came upon a women that I thought to make my own Eyes of brown hair of dark carmel golden stone I, just a wanderer in need of some repair Then she smiled at me honestly I knew it was sincere

So I brought her back to my room and I laid her on my bed I felt love in my body but weakness in my legs I said "Baby this world is nothing just be glad there's you and I." Then we sat watching the baptism sent from the overcast sky

O' morning, O' sleep Why must you play games with me? O' daylight, O' time Why must you mess with my mind?
