LATE NIGHT BLUES

Got big dreams
But been thinkin’ little
Inside the box
Watching kinetic clockwork
Wishin’ it would stop
And turn the other way
Had this feelin’ the other day
24 hours passed
Another day of feeling this way
Searchin’ for a path in darkness
Eyes closed in the light
Selective vision
See what I wanna
While missin’ the big picture
Now I can picture
Me as a baseball pitcher
Or an Astronaut
Instead of sippin’ malt liquer pitchers
Thinkin’ of my have nots
Gotta be more than this
But motivation I have not
Dead end jobs
Dead end dreams
Sippin’ Maxwell House with cream
Awake at 4am
Wonderin’
Starin’ into the night
Searchin’ for a plight
Or just a conquest
Somethin’ gotta give
Somethin’ gotta shake
Somethin’
