So now I’m back to square one,
Chelsea girl’s flown the coupe
She’s on the run
For some California sun
She left me numb
Twiddling my thumbs
And all she left me was a song,
But at least it was a good one
It was fun
To size up a muse and put it to use
To protract it
Shape it
‘til it flows like molasses
Until no thoughts clash and like lightning it crashes
And the words ignite like a flame to a match
And that’s how life is
One must run into the sun
Learn every turn,
Every twist, life insists
People try in vain to resist
But there’s so much to be missed
When you’re lost in the middle of one of life’s little tryst
