I'm Late

 I’m Late (FAWM #2)

 

Stayed up all night making love to my girlie                       

The always lazy cross-town bus was early                         

Headed east the sun was burning my eyes                         

I began contemplating certain alibies                                 

 

Martians landed they wanted to debate

A gypsy demanded to predict my fate

Profound mysteries you can’t contemplate

Sorry Charlie I just happen to be late

 

Heaven spoke showing no mercy hail prevailed

My smart son took his final exams and failed

I got a collect call from Preacher Jack

I was weeping over the Pearl Harbor attack

 

Martians landed they wanted to debate

A gypsy demanded to predict my fate

Profound mysteries you can’t contemplate

Sorry Charlie I just happen to be late

 

Philosophy are questions answered for naught

You’re always innocent until you’re finally caught

Money talks but tell me do you want to listen?

You won’t go far in a car without ambition

 

Traffic was heavy and so’s my beating heart

I was awe struck by a random piece of art

Roman soldiers flooded the streets with greed

A lonely beggar pleaded with me to meet his need

 

Martians landed they wanted to debate

A gypsy demanded to predict my fate

Profound mysteries you can’t contemplate

Sorry Charlie I just happen to be late

 

I heard a robin singing captivating

The Ku Klux Klan stopped systematic hating

Peace broke out and flooded both soul and mind

Finally we realized no child left behind

 

Martians landed they wanted to debate

A gypsy demanded to predict my fate

Profound mysteries you can’t contemplate

Sorry Charlie I just happen to be late
