It Would Be Odd If Nine Were Even

Walton S. Tissot
A wall in the mind
Just past the eye
Kneel to receive
Over and over
Until it is over
My oh my my
Just past the eye
A wall in the mind

All asleep at the wheel
Stoned while I dream
Many minds to educate
Born in the fray
To dig your own hole
All the while believing
Stoned while I dream
All asleep at the wheel

Wish it all away
Paint it as you may
One and another
Again and again
Beginning to end
Many shades of gray
Paint it as you may
Wish it all away

Cameras rolling
A wall in the mind
Just past the eye
All asleep at the wheel
Stoned while I dream
Paint it as you may
Wish it all away
The direction pedestrian

    Some people just dream in black & white, not you...loving those shades of gray...viewing the "world" from another plane.
