Bugle Boy

The country is riddled with social ills and aches

But my heart is calmed by her embrace

I'm trying to tell something to the world

But my words are slurred and slow

Have you ever been caught in a dream

Where your legs were froze?

I was left alone with my thoughts and my guitar

But it felt hopeless

Like the desire of the moth for the star

Sometimes nothing seems unreal

This strange little boy said

Mister play us your guitar

And I said, "No I can't"

And put my guitar in the car

Listening to the music of Heaven & Earth

Have you ever thought you were

The most important thing in the universe

I didn't know whether to strengthen my weaknesess

Or play to my strengths

Yeah ... I was trapped in the triviality of everydayness

I said, "There's magic in my head girl

But I only use it when I'm depressed"

I don't suppose she heard me

She was too busy admiring her dress

She said that I was pretentious

I said "Just young and well intentioned"

Who can save us now the world rots?

I did know the secret of the universe ...

Only I forgot!
