In Friday's tie-dye nightmareI was trying to get from here to thereWalking to, passing through people everywhereI got on at my station, running through the fireLooking for an elevation that would get me a little higherNews of people dying, someone lying on the stairCrying for the nation, can we offer up a prayerThere'll be a coronation, a fancy dress affairWe'll be lined up in formation, but we won't be going anywhereDown the hellhole, trying to make my wayI couldn't get where I wanted, due to an unforeseen delayThe man was apologetic as he turned his head to saySorry, kid, you're not gonna make it home todayHey mister, why'd you take my ticket awayEven more to the point, how come I let youI could blame it all on you, or make up my mind to stayI wish I knew a way I could forget youI didn't read the fine print, y'gotta be on the ballSome days I'm less confident, up against a wallI wonder where my mind went, I should have made the callI like to think I'm innocent, but then, don't we allI got to the next location, hoping for the bestBut another situation put me to the testA man in black pants, a white shirt, and a red vestHad fallen on the track and no one even got depressedOr even guessed he wasn't putting on an actSomeone said he'd drunk too much'Cause he was lying on his backIt was also duly noted that he happened to be blackThere was a serious lack of anything right at all hereWhat's the difference--I didn't stopThe very least I could have done was call a copBut I passed the news vendor, pursuing my agendaAnd I like everyone else, I dropped the ball hereStill trying to get home, I saw a telephoneAnd put some coins I had foundThey were supposed to work, they did for the man beside meBut when I dropped them in, they wouldn't go downWhat is going on hereWill I ever know the truthHow do to deal with the time stealing away your daddy's youthStory after story of disaster barely missedYou see, common miracles somehow do existAnd anyone can be kissed by lady fortuneSo I gathered up my skirt and tucked my wallet inGrabbed my bag and the sling I carried my girl child inFunny she didn't cry, she wasn't scared at allShe could see a happy outcome in the patterns on the wallAnd y'knowThe next train was the right one, but not for the vested manI try, but there's too many things I'll never understandY'gotta keep on going knowing someone's got a planFor Friday's tie-dye nightmare and Monday's promised landAnd there it is
