Roughshod Slipstream

nothing short of breath
stolen from lungs
nothing short of bombs sent skyward
by tongues
come to find that shrugging, patient ways
ain't enough to burn down my days
and there ain't no way that I'll stop
'til I got what I came for
you know what I came for
is it only in my head
so it's only in my head
come and find me, she said,
come and find me
now it's all right, all right - go on, on, on, on
call it second sight, all right - go on, on, on on
strains that come to light - go on, on, on, on
drown those doubts in spite - go on, on, on, on
sparks from a dream deferred
come together as a constellation
and I'm tired of watching it play
against the ceiling of my lonely mind
I cracked the world open against my pride
drank deep from the light that swims inside
but I won't be satisfied
'til your eyes meet mine and you see what I came for
is it only in my head
say it's only in my head
come and find me, she said,
come and find me
now it's all right, all right - go on, on, on, on
call it second sight, all right - go on, on, on on
strains that come to light - go on, on, on, on
drown those doubts in spite - go on, on, on, on
the minute that you name anything you lose it
so say the word and see
if I shall be healed
