Vinyl Window

In the shelter of my basement
No one can get to me
These four walls are my fortress
I’m happy to let life be
But everyone has a weakness
An Achilles heel, a flaw
None of us are bulletproof
There’s a crack in every wall
I’ve got a vinyl window
Where you can see the real me
The highs and lows are clear
The light shines in on me
 
Sometimes I channel Johnny
Or Bob speaks to how I feel
I might want to get the Led out
Or ride the hurricane with Neil
Bono, Pete, and Bruce
Too many voices for me to tell
Their words reflect my heaven
Or remind me of my hell.
 
In the center there is a hole
Where my heart used to be
I’ve spun so many circles
There’s not much left of me
Sometimes I’m in the groove
And every note rings true
“To Live is to Fly” by Townes
Stevie Ray’s electric blues.
 
“The Road Goes on Forever
And the Party Never Ends”
Isn’t really true
As we both know my friend
As the daylight fades to night
I close my eyes without a fear
When my needle no longer spins
It is your song I will hear.
