Take Me Back

by Johnny Kongos 

I talk of six while forgetting five
Can't even taste if my food's alive
I'm watching music that I can't hear
Staring down some invisible fear

And once again the question's asked
I answer yes! but the moment's passed
I'm guess I'm always tomorrow-bound
How many more till I'm underground?

Oh Oh I remember now
Too far below to turn around
Too bright a light to let go now
Take me back my friend
Take me back back on home

Now what I'm saying is nothing new
This repetition's right on cue
wise man said you're amused to death
Too much talk - too much wasted breath

You're overjoyed and over-fed
Over-ed - you're almost dead
Gotta work gotta stay awake
God I'm tired can I take a break
