DaysOur Lives
On the road to Georgia, my heart so displaced
Like a cool blast of nothing, never showing no face
My rebel memories, they can’t freeze me into space
as I look for lightning remedies in your hurricane
‘cause you asked me for your fortune, as you misspelled my name
then you say you aren’t pleased with the answers that I gave
But that was all when I was too young to even be awake
I was a visionary in former life
and I knew when it would rain even when the sun was shining
but it was in my mind
I pass Mobile and the train tracks at dusk
And now your clear vision comes rushing to the front
That day I never made it, left you waiting in the brush
Could have jumped on board and hustled up
to where passengers were bustling
and then the next morning in the crystal light if day
I bet on a thousand horses still looking for the gate
I was just shaken by their power so thin and alkaline
I was a visionary in a former life
and I knew I’d lose you it was only a matter of time
but it was all in my mind
Now I’m committing crimes for the safety of a cell
To know where I sleep even if I don’t sleep well
You’re a good girl, just had a story to tell
I had my chance
The guard coughs like the tremor in my mind
Says you’re a golden double vision, must be corrected twice
Then I’m a note without my alibi
Strung out for your forgiveness a thousand brilliant times
