I play it through and play it through and through
All the while it breaks and breaks and keeps on breaking down

My head is filled with phone calls, plans and problems

Budgets, words that talk the talk
Straight-laced shoes and faces
Names I won’t remember

So I drink and play and try to picture
who I am
Remembering last night’s dream

So it goes

Words begin to roll and strings to bite
A fanning strum becomes me

Here, invisibly

I come to find myself
Eyes closed, existing in this space

Alone

I find my place among the stars
