The Thoughts of Rick McVie
WHY DON"T YOU PEDDLE your wares ...?
people sell paper flowers on the street.
at least they give a tangible good
what can I give that is of value to people?
am I the only one in this pit.
I’m asking for ribbons around my wrists
fear can eat my dust today.
someone is praying for the things we take for granted.
maybe if you make your face smile
the rest of you will tumble along
just lace your shoe
you know I hate it when you cry .. “ it makes me want to burn your eyes."
come back when you’ve got
the patience to turn the wire
I’ve carved out the way to be sad and crazy
I never bothered to want more.
let me sit down right here in the sad wagon
a colt45 in my veins..safety on.
I am not in debt .
