Lyrics

I stare at the phone
wondering if you'l still be there.
Two decades later
can you even care?

The long blur in between
and a bllion blinking screens:
streams and streams of narcotized delight.

A young star splayed
on the sidewalk near my car.
"A speedball," someone sighed,
"how sad things are."

Just in from Rome,
Fellini had died
and L.A.'d only sold me lies.
I was a continent away in my mind.

I'll dial up a melody
we sang when the world used to sing,
our dreams a bargain jet away,
the Spanish steps on sunny days.

Let me love my memory
of you and what you meant to me.
The questions we once entertained.
The wonder of it all still remains--

Once you sighed, "We are formed by Time."
Once I said my world is shaped by rhyme.
Oh, courage sighs as the shny vipers thrive!
Pick up that phone and tell me you've survived.

Tell me you survived.
Tell me you survived.

Millions compete while the Ivory Tower schemes
an algorithm to steal all of the dreams,
and here I stand in a polarized mad land
looking back your way in search of light.

Let us sing a melody
we sang when the world used to sing
Our dreams a bargain jet away
the Spanish Steps on sunny days.

Let me love the mystery
of you and who you might could be.
The questions we could entertain
The wonder of it all still remains...
