Mark Croft: The Music
Spinning Rhymes
Written by Mark Croft
Do you see what I see or is it only me here in a masquerade? Do you feel how I feel? Trapped behind these bars of molten steel 1500 hundred tons of iron cage They’re doing everything to cover up our eyes Who could be so wretched not to sympathize? Waiting like a leopard in the sugar cane
Who am I? I’m just a mere poet spinning rhymes So who am I to say? Who are we? We’re just simple fools out in the streets With our hearts out on display
Did you cry Novocain? A little medicine to kill this pain tonight ‘Cause I can see it on your face Do you know what I know? The only thing to do is pick yourself and get up and go And leave it all behind ‘Cause I could fill up every note and fill up each refrain With the beating of a heart fill up w/ love and pain Oh, but would that suffice?My oh my now
Who am I? I’m just a mere poet spinning rhymes So who am I to say? Who are we? We’re just simple fools out in the streets With our hearts out on display
Poets can do without rhythm and rhyme And hearts can still beat without air for a time Souls can be covered with dirt and decay But ain’t it bout time that we washed it away…washed it away
Who am I? I’m just a mere poet spinning rhymes So who am I to say? Who are we? We’re just simple fools out in the streets With our hearts out on display Who I am? I’ve asked myself ten-thousand seven-hundred and sixty-five times since yesterday Who are we? We’re just simple fools out in the streets With our hearts out on display
