--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this is my autobiography although it may seem premature
everything that’s gonna happen to me already passed my door
every sweet love affair, every triumph, every shame
the colors explode, but when they clear
no no, they do not stain
I think you know what I mean

and in the words of my mother, a good man uses his humility
and in the words of my lover, baby just give me what I need
and in the words of my father, don’t think too much of status and wealth
the bad man might reap profit and praise 
but the good man meets with the lord himself 

I keep trying 
trying to believe 
all the lullabies 
ever sung to me

and in the words of S P Taylor, everybody knows it’s too late
and in the words of my sister, Evie’s birthday’s on the 28th
and in the words of Stephen Biko, either you’re proud or you’re dead
it’s in the moves of Muhammed Ali, if you live on earth, you got to pay the rent
yeah if you live on earth, you got to pay
I think you know what I mean

chorus

momentary euphoria, hypnotised in the dance of death
everybody is looking around, tryin’ to find what he does best
and in the words of my daughter, daddy why’d you bring me here?
I guess I’m craving something that will never disappear
I think you know what I mean

______________________________

I’ve heard it said, and I believe 
nobody’s really free 
without the chains of love

he raised a bar stool over his head
tried to strike another man dead
I saw it happen, I was there
my chest grew tight but not with fear
as the borders disappeared

keep me in a prison cell
father I believe you
darling I would never leave you
I wanna kiss the ceiling
addicted to the feeling

on a tiny patch of sand
barbed wire and an empty hand
he knows just what to do
the choices are so few
as hungry shadows circle ‘round
dropping live shells on the ground

there’s nothing left to say
no perfect judgement day
after victory, the death of your enemy
wasn’t it he who set you free

Tolyqyn
