The Optimist / Times and Places

Times and Places

 

Verse

I can see New Jersey

From the 29^th Floor

I am surrounded by

Uniforms and cubicles

And my head it spins

Inside another

Revolving door

Here we go again

Going round in circles

 

Got your name

On your shirt

Wear it with pride

Somebody’s got to do

The heavy lifting

While you are

Working from home

And tell us all how

The hands of time are shifting

 

When you marry

The girl of your dreams

And blockchain lottery

Bears fruit

Like a lemon tree

What are you going do now?

What are you going to be?

 

Pre=Chorus

When you

Close your eyes

And look back

In history

What do you see?

Why are you so far away

From where you need to be?

 

Chorus

I see those hungry faces

Lining up to take you down

In these times

In the places

Don’t forget to take

A good look around

 

M8

 What goes up

Must come down

Unless you are

A meteor

Travelling at the

Speed of sound
