To Rest In Peace On Righteous Tides

Today i daydreamed of being shot

Left to bleed at a parkdale dollarmart

And beggars laughed as my coins

Fell out and caught the sun.

And sparkled like that first day

You caught my eyes but now i lay

With no dollars and a bleeding head.

So the lesson learned

Is to always spend before you dream,

So no one will pick up

Your coins and have better luck

Then leave.

They tossed me in a limousine

Headed southbound towards the cne

Where i watched the carnies

Set up a ferris wheel.

I caught your eyes and i realized

That nuts and bolts were left

On the ground to shine

And you laughed as i was the first to board

So the lesson learned

Is to never ride after you spot

Her disastrous eyes

That never lie and leave you lost.

And when i'm sad i look for tragedy

To save me from my memories

That whisk me to a place where

The roads are long

Where all signs point towards familiar sights

Of too much smoking and wild nights

Where no daydreams distract me

When i'm in bed alone.

So my lesson learned

Is to always breathe

When the tide comes in.

Cause i'm better off to be swept away then to just jump in.
