Work In Progress (live Wilmington DE Acoustic Show, 2016)
Before the music gets ahead of me Let me jog your memory A lot of you used to know as the kid who had the remedy Incredibly I’ve been rockin this mic steadily Cleverly creative since the 1970s
Melodies spring for somewhere inside of me Unfolding rather esoterically Truth be told its my main form of therapy Earning me the moniker of Mr. Curiosity
Café’s wrote pages in my history Coffee shops they paid the bills for me Java Joe was still a hell of a bloke to let a curbside prophet keep practicing his poetry Life is wonderful, love is my philosophy, 0% interest in celebrity 1000 things to say no stopping me No stopping us hands up if you’re feeling me
Chorus
I have flown 93 million miles around the globe Tonight not again I’m probably packing my clothes The world as I see it is below my toes When I’m back to the earth I’m halfway home This is a halfway poem, half wrapped off the dome Half stoned, half recorded half assed on my phone My religion is rhythm and tone I got a cat on my lap so I’m never alone
You and I both know that I won’t give up Life’s a beautiful mess no need for cleaning it up You know I’m sleeping to dream, keep dreamin it up One day we’ll spotify this you’ll be streaming it up And in the mean time live high keep smiling Living in the moment with this beautiful timing We take the sun we’re still gonna shine You know we sing dance steal things Keep on flying high
Chorus
With the right kind of phrase in a style like no other I’ll do anything it takes to keep singing for my supper Singing about love because it needs to be discovered Singing I’m Yours no matter how much its been covered
Lucky one of 10,000 mother fuckers Standing under bella luna blessed up by their mother God rest their reason and their reason is no other I am who I am because Virginia is for lover
I… I’m a work in progress I’m a bit of a rough draft I’m not done yet I’m not final
Yes I… I’m a work in progress Got a few pages left Still writing this self titled track I’m a work in progress Got a few good years left I’m still writing this self titled…word
