~ A Man Without A Home ~
~ my guitar eating me alive ~
A shiver did my spirit seal
A tithing from the soul
A lotic brook turning real
In the name of repentant soul
My guilt, eating me alive...
When I have shown my sour face
And swigged from the horny mug
In a dive bar torn between races
Black and white within this hole I've dug
Night devours my unknown mistakes...
A liar cannot deliver a song
A burning drake or the night's crow
Make my music a suicidal sorrow
My nightmares destroy me before the show
Torn between bright lights of overdose
I am half naked on the stage, half dead
The faces bereft, the applause morose
Friendships white, the truth mulatto
I am a man without a home....
Now I lay me down to sleep
In the rainbow name of repentance
But I cannot sleep for I cannot dream
Or my guilt will steal my guitar's sentence
And continue to eat me alive
Yes,
I am a man without a home....
