Paroles

Shooting forward through the grayest clouds up in the sky
There is a metal can with a man
Sitting hunched over a dark machine that he is working
With his stubby hands above the lands
He pushes quarters into slots and every time he puts one in
A cigarette drops into the black box
He doesn't get to keep the coins or keep the cigarettes
But still tobacco stains his gums and brains
And it is pulling me back (it's pulling me back)
And it is pulling me back (it's pulling me back)
To thinking I must conquer this world with one hundred dollars
And every colored collar is the color of pain
And I can't trot my road and earn my lane
I picked up the phone and heard a voice so far away
A woman from my past, old and black
In southern tones she slowly asked me questions and as I answered
I could hear her nod, in touch with God
She seemed to know me better than I knew myself
'Cause when she asked me how I spend my time these days
And I said music, she said yes I know because that's your calling
Now the Lord will call you to play
And it is calling me back (it's calling me back)
And it is calling me back (it's calling me back)
To knowing and feeling my work is in good keeping
And life is lucid dreaming and it's okay
'Cause I have come here with something to say
