1st song off Side A of the "Distractions" 7 inch.

lyrics

no more distractions, then the truth unfolds
blood in my veins, then down into my toes
i once felt a fire that burnt so bright
then it dimmed down in the dark
now i see the night

once loved a boy and then i grew old
forgot about creating and being risky, bold
now i’m in love with the Earth and her pearly blue eyes
she’s been around since birth but to me she’s still shy
she doesn’t socialize with the stars of heaven
with pluto and mars or her other brethren
she stays put under the weeping son
with a pillow under her head
comfort in being alone
who are you? how do you do?
do you believe me? what i say is true?
do you remember the time when things were fine in our heads
and children laughed out loud in our dreams in our beds?
and the morning grew, it grew up old like you
and the day moved on – i saw you too
i saw you carry on
stare into the sky, the skyline makes me feel fine tonight
i’m shaken up i don’t know why but don’t worry about it

there’s a change coming around
it’s all around town
ain’t gunna be good babe
till we figure ourselves out
sleep are awake, the wake are asleep
we need to explode our reality
really money, she’s doin me harm
yeah she hurts me, then spits on me
then chews me up with her charm
and it breaks my heart
