Bassackwards

i was on the beach but

i was thinking about the bay

got to the bay but

by then i was far away

i was on the ground but

looking straight into the sun

but the sun went down

and i couldn’t find another one

for a while

for because it was an all- burning feeling in my chest

to fill the void of a long night unwatched

by, well, the sun until the morn

until when, well, the sun’s reborn and so am i

from all the scorn buried deep within the psyche

of my soul

i was standing down

but i was also on the run

in my mind

i was on the radio talking with a friend of mine

there was no format because, well, we like it like that

he was out of his mind and i was way out of mine

then everything went backwards with words coming out

bassackwards

and i appreciate him to the utmost degree

i mean phrases flying out

bassackwards

i was on the moon

but more so i was in the grass

so i was chilling out but

with a very drifting mind

so i was on the ground circa planet earth

but outta sorts

but i snapped back, baby, just in time

to jot it down

and come around

and it’s always nice to see...

it’s always nice to see you here

when i come around

or when i’m plain come, comin down

then everything goes backwards

i mean everything moving out

then everything goes backwards

i mean everything oozing out

(strummin a chet atkins…)

i was standing up but i hate to still stoop you down

to my level
