lyrics

Foolsgold

beat's tight – heat's right, simmering –
pre-flight – streetlights shimmering
lay tracks in the first rain drops on the blacktop
low rain clouds in the night the backdrop
gun the gas, hit the ramp, catch air til the ride lands, break left
kill the lights, kick the clutch in, shift gears – check the gift
fill the airwaves, def, respect in it
nightside, ease to the roadside
bass and cicadas, breeze and low tide
streets like mirrors – now the rain has passed by
stoplights flash yellow, mellow in the dashlight
style in sonic – atomic fusion
raw and honest through veiled illusion
allude impressions – crafting lyrical pointillism
dimension spherical

shave ice with the cream
high strung – is it a dream?

light mosaics, swift as shadowfax
rush like freshets, flooded cataracts
skyscape resembles a timelapse
toys step back and tremble when time raps
abstract – exact for the showcase
downshift – ease back to the slow pace
way past – massive as parcel post
chase cash – captive like starving ghosts
every evening, weaving through avenues
believe in a dream – focus on gratitude
every episode – nightfall, open road
long hauls, close calls, soul overload
overflow til the rhyme scheme forms up
four string tube amp head warms up
delivering work – wordsmith like christopher kirk
words like blades – blood sprays the page

flipside of the sunrays, razor's edge,
tipped by one phrase, brave the ledge
kicks incurred by capital spurs
gadgets incite the passion of herds
after all's said, is it all a scam?
They sell pepper's ghost and call it a hologram
bait and switch, roll the steelbelts
sound of crushed gravel bounce in the wheelwells
power to poets allays the rising fear
sound and the flow in arrays of knives in spheres
constellations reflections
between the clouds as they shift directions
cross-sections of thought in diagrams
take a blind man's hand, guide him to an eye exam
give 'em a rhythm and a reason to live again
twist the ignition, time to give a damn

tell you one thing, ain't never gonna let it go
vinyl, turntable, tape deck, spin, vertigo
when you got it then you know it's hard to handle that
step it to the fore if you can't keep standing back
live and immediate – right when we're feeling it
light in your eyes, night skies are revealing it
never relent – set on ascent
hey, where you been, Time? Man, paying the rent
deepen the game, right? and trouble steadily
keeping the flame alive in 2017
time of the preacherman and teaching is through
zone is the name, but the stranger to you
sound summed up one time in the right way
moonlight reflecting on a double-edged knife blade
dial back, til the vibe is apropos
zone was born to burn, still no status quo
