Royalty
My name is never get up early if the morning coming too quick
Never lose a moment of the night until the blues hit
The true script is quiet as it's kept, getting louder
Come close i can whisper in your ear: heavy powder
The movement to write is left on to right
Another flame flickered up my ceiling last night
And the feeling cast light over dark days coming
Your head hanging heavy with your heart pace running
Now you seem too concerned with the irrelevant
Television banging in the corner for the hell of it
It's like amphetamine, broken better men
And bombs ripping through this low rent city tenement
Ride your bike back circling the schoolyard
And watch the cracks in the concrete if it's too hard
A foolhearted attempt to bring the past back
When 1984 could have been the last track
And seventeen years on the album keeps spinning
Back and forth, back and forth, like i've been in
This same place before, the herbalised route
See me break a smile and turn the lights out

So whatcha do last night? wonder why i want to know
Gotta figure out a better way to pile through the snow
All the weather in the world in one city one day
And the questions in your head that you couldn't contain
I keep the figure eight in my pocket, liberate every lock
A bit of weight never hurt a man's shoulders
Hurry past signs of glamorous night life
Average life-like imitation ain't quite right
Are you the right type to keep me on my tracks?
Beat me on my back, go easy on the facts
48 tracks and 16 soloed
No logo, no photo, now ain't no road
Too long to travel if you got the right shoes on
Three hours from midday 'til the blue zone
A two tone light burning in the fireplace
An orange flare on your tired face
You need a quiet place, a rockerfeller high rise
To read out loud in a capella iron wise
Buying lies if i need to
Shut your blind eyes, let me lead you
(Words and music: Don Johnson Big Band)
