Zig Zag

Chorus

See the straight away

It’s a runway

With a clear path

To where you want to go

You can zig zag

Through the shadows

Slip in and out

No one ever needs to know

That this life

Is a tinder box

A wildfire

Ready to explode

If you zig zag

On a runway

Will you ever get to

Where you want to go?

Verse 1

In the hills of Santa Barbara there is beauty to be found

From the Mission on the Hill to the people on the ground

I heard a Poet Laurette speak in a tethered verse

While traffic stopped, a minute, in honor of the hearse

Verse 2

The ocean takes a little of the land on which we stand

And every day the water turns a little more to sand

‘Enjoy it while you can’ cried the village idiot

He was heard in Sacramento but not by a lot

Verse 3

It’s hard to argue with the logic that tends to supersede

A 1940’s Bentley that was only built for speed

Cruising down a boulevard or a windy ocean road

Have you learned all the lessons from The Frog and the Toad
