DON’T LOOK NOW.          

Talking in limbo

Taking a chance

I’ve got my eyes open

But the girl has got my hands.

All of a shiver

With no guarantee

It’s just like a gamble

With the horses chasing me.

Don’t look now

The shackles are tightening

Don’t look now

The dog hounds are closing in…

You’re the maker of this hopeless cause

You’re soon to break her then to gain applause

Nothing’s new in that

No nothing sure is new in that.

Talking in limbo

Aching real big

Open the mouth

When the brain has still to think.

Am I going crazy

Outta my mind

Playing the world

When I’m twenty steps behind.

Talking in limbo

I say it’s okay

I say there’s no problem

Till the wife has pulled away.

My mind is in turmoil

I’m acting real calm

It’s holding together

But the glue is who I  am.
