I Don't Know About All That

There’s fire on the pavement restless souls are lighting matches
That much I can see
Anchormen and candidates and prostitutes are always influencing me
And though I’m standing over here
That distant sound reaches my ears
Tempts my comprehension and my sight with no lines
To read between
But I don’t know about all that
Don’t even keep it with me
And even if I come in last I know you’ll be around me
It doesn’t take an overdose you just have to brush my face
You’re what I want to do the most I would go any place
There’s hostages, there’s world war three fulfilling biblical prophecy
I just don’t know
Playing on the corner breaks the law the cops come tell me that I gotta go
And I have spent a night in jail
In sleep I’ve seen the gates of hell
God in all His glory forgot to do something about the litter on the streets
It’s a roller coaster ride
If there’s no handle clutch the sides
The carnival master has a ball
He catches your coins as they fall
