maple leaves were everywhere
not just on the trees
by the gorge we spent a night
without that much light
the weather was good
so was the food
the company unparalleled
to mrofform i salute
and to his flower i pay tribute

now don’t you be wearin’ that frown
as you set off alone to town
it ain’t all that lonely or sad
sing the songs of trinidad
you ain’t ever alone you know
the Other is always there
when it seems you’re alone
it’s him that provides that tender care
so don’t you be wearing that frown
as you make that trip outbound
cos’ if you […]

take your time
you’ve gonna find your rhyme
this is where it begins
take your place among the saints
every man’s got words to say
demons to slay and bills to pay
open your mouth and find the beat
before you take your seat

you’re so special
just like 4 billion others out there
you’re so different
human like the rest of us
i never met someone like you before
but twenty million others have
i never thought you’d love me
now, that’s something you don’t ever see

don’t know what i am
perhaps you can show me now
in those eyes of yours
within those deep pools
lie a multitude of lies
drowning me slowly
as i go under
i feel no fear or remorse
these lies are so sweet

shame shame shame
you’ve let that fame
draw you deeper into the game
with only yourself to blame
told you it was wrong
but you thought you were strong
do you know how it is
now that you’re taking the piss
don’t tell me you’re sorry
you didn’t say it while
you were basking in your glory
now where’s that damn smile
it’s too late now girl
you’re […]

i got places to go
moves to show
things to do
busting fools
i don’t need you around
always with that frown
don’t hold me down
i ain’t your little clown
don’t hold me up
i’m overflowing your cup
if you don’t want my flames
then know how to play the game

with these portals i travel
effortlessly through space
wherever i desire
any damn phat place
i don’t give you no shit ho
and if you believe me so
then tell me where to go
i’ll take you to and fro
i’ll bring you through that open door
the world will be your floor
just believe and you will see
you can be anywhere you want to […]
