Lyrics
Need a Visionary
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So much dirt on the street,
It sticks to the edge of your feet,
And your girl won't come around,
This is a down town.
These questions I don't understand,
I keep searching the palm of my hand,
But I've known enough mysteries,
Without a gypsy.
NEED A VISIONARY
Need a visionary
No missionary
Is gonna take the load
Off of me
Man it's might scary
When you just don't care
And you give yourself a hard time
Sister Bea.
This town just never slows down,
You lose everything that you found,
And the fast talking Romeos
Take you for a joke.
You can't lift this weight
Off your mind,
By just staying drunk all the time,
Gotta stand up straight and face it,
'Cos you can't escape it.
