Drum stick

Corporate Mirage My old heart can't take this strain no more Old songs of mine never strike the same chord Though my heart learned it yearns for another Love indeed denied 'cause of Corporate America Isolated, relocated, all alone Except for the crackle of this radios drone My loneliness told me this was the only way For this ghost jam of my heart to be cleared away I peer through the bars of this open cell Watch her walk passed this temporary hell I watch with thumping heart, hoping she can hear That for her alone, The jam in her broken heart I would clear Look at her, such a magnetic thing All eyes to her, she's so attracting She walks alone, so lost in thought Walks passed me, so like a robot So I walk side by side with her singing my song Till she's human again, dancing along Till she's human again, gravitating towards me Business suits and black ties told my heart to lie Heart aches just the norm within this heartless company Told to stay away, told to stay alone, for all eternity That the eternal single life and being cold and alone Is better than being warm with somebody That a tomb of the unknown is the place to be On that dance floor, she owns the demon in her dreams Reawakening her raw sexual energy Maybe this music is a curse or a cure for this dark thing She's wanting no more bad catches, so she scratches away At the many suitors who approach her each day Still she's running to where she escaped Still she's running to where she escaped Them shadows be dancing by themselves No bodies to hold them in place in my open cell This laser light be flowin' all around My heart is rapid fire, this bass be pounding Told myself to calm down, them shadows don't even know That when she's near me, away they'll go America the brave, America the bold America the Company is all alone Business suits and black ites set them rules in stone It's better to climb that brass ladder Might as well die old and alone No love is lost is none was ever won Keep on climbing that brass ladder my neverborn son These shadows in my mind, that I alone can see These business suits and black ties that keep haunting me Are the shadows on the walls attached to no bodies Whenever she's around, when she's near These shadowy business types simply disappear Just pull a salt shaker, sling it all about Push these shadowy business types all out Let's ignite our passions oh so strong This corporate heartbreak in America Can't hang on for long Still the same, day after day, this routine, the same every way She walks past me, my mouth open wide, she disappears before I say goodnight She feels that feeling, churning inside Like bubbles in boiling water, her emotion starts to rise She turns to me, a sad look in her eyes She starts to run towards me Tears floating towards that sky She trips and falls, I catch her, all night we cry Though these tears are real There ain't no stock in them at all Corporate America will make their numbers rise As our hearts begin to fall, night after night, day after day This corporate heartbreak of ours, makes their day As their stock prices rise, our tears continue to fall My old heart can't take this strain No love won, squeezes my brain Love passed me by too many times, So I have this forced on suit and tie Look at her, such a beautiful thing, She's in my arms, our tears are still flowing Business suits and black ties surround us both These shadowy figures scream, rage, and gloat I ignore them, for once in my life, I feel all alone Still looking at her eyes, a calm over take me All I can see, that this woman in my arms, such a beauty Still those eyes, so attracting Populated, renovated, with all both our families No longer isolated, I can be happy with this beauty Those business suits and black ties, far and away Their own stocks falling, as our happiness begins to rise To them I raise a toast, to enjoy that last sunrise, I turn to her, say I do, she says the same, we dance till noon
