Don't Be Fooled

Driven out of bed with bright eyes And yellow starlight, Fighting for a ghost of clarity That slowly comes to me By throwin' on a shirt and jeans And a look of innocence The red skies and gasoline In the radiance, Burnin' on a stretch of concrete, With a racin' heartbeat Tradin' in my years for hours With the gods and cowards And somewhere at the end of it Where the road becomes a fence, She points into the infinite, Into the radiance And she says, "Don't be fooled, Don't be fooled, Don't be fooled by the real thing" Out of sight, of mind, she chooses For her scars and bruises It hit like a pack of foul words A spark confuses I'm sittin' down the razor wire I'm a captive of the ends I see the search lights and forest fires In the radiance And she says, "Wait, wait, there it is-- Don't be fooled, Don't be fooled, Don't be fooled by the real thing" It's true, It's true, I believe It's true It's true I believed her reasoning "Don't be fooled, Don't be fooled, Don't be fooled by the real thing" "Don't be fooled, Don't be fooled, Don't be fooled by the real thing" And she says "Wait, wait, there it is" And she says "Wait, wait"
