Hey nowlittle speedyhead
The read on the speedmeter says
You have to go to task in the city
Where people drown and people serve.
Don t be shy. Your just deserve
Is only just light years to go.

Memy thoughts are flower strewn
Ocean stormbayberry moon.
I have got to leave to find my way.
Watch the road and memorize
This life that pass before my eyes.
Nothing is going my way.

The ocean is the river s goal
A need to leave the water knows
We re closer now than light years to go.

I have got to find the river
Bergamot and vetiver
Run through my head and fall away.
Leave the road and memorize
This life that pass before my eyes.
Nothing is going my way.

There s no one left to take the lead
But I tell you and you can see
We re closer now than light years to go.
Pick up here and chase the ride.
The river empties to the tide.
Fall into the ocean.

The river to the ocean goes
Afortune for the undertow.
None of this is going my way.
There is nothing left to throw
Of Gingerlemonindigo
Coriander stem and rose of hay.
Strength and courage overrides
The privileged and weary eyes
Of river poet search naivete.
Pick up here and chase the ride.
The river empties to the tide.
All of this is coming your way.
