Hey what's your name?
You over there singing hymns on the edge of the curb
You seem creative and kind of cool, yes I want to get to know you man
I want to know where you're going
Are your wheels in motion too?
There's so much traffic and you don't give a damn about anyone hearing you
Where is your ego?
Where is your, excuse the pause, protective layer?
Do you hide away from things or just sit around and sing to yourself?
I didn't mean to know enough to know that I am free to stack you on a shelf of thoughts and questions for myself
You could call it personal but the worst of it is gone
I am now approaching, reaching for your hand
I am just another man wanting to know just who you are
You are confronted with a man of uncomfortable looks and a charm built only from black matter
You substitute your point of view for curiosity and try and take it on
He tries to show you his new pants
He's looking you straight down the barrel
Maybe it's a genius bait for a social awareness prank and I failed to pick up on the memo
