Long Game

(back)                                                                                            (listen / download)

Join me on the edge
Staring out above the clouds
How can anyone find in a single lifetime
Anything before the clock runs out

Holding all the cards
Watching all the shooting stars
Drop below the surface causing a disturbance
After all the tricks

You might think about the long game
It can’t hurt to work the odds
Gotta’ focus on the time frame
And remove the whole facade

On the better half of fortune
Lies a trophy in disguise
Just enough of what’s important
For the patient mastermind

Put away the pull tabs
Basket full of eggs reflects
People on the sidelines watching for the high sign
Bet you don’t forget that aftertaste

Careful as a bullfrog
Watching all the flies meet their demise
Here’s a new assignment find a new alignment
Leap into the deep

Start thinking of the long game
It can’t hurt to work the odds
Gotta’ focus on the time frame
And remove the whole facade

On the better half of fortune
Lies a trophy in disguise
Just enough of what’s important
For the patient mastermind

Liquid in the sunlight rapids on the rocks
Ripping up the shoreline wrecking all the shocks
In your dirty socks

Landing on the launch pad banking on a comeback
Reach below the seat and read between the lines
You’ll be just fine
