Lyrics

Spinning Rhymes

Do you see what I see?
Or is it only me here
In a masquerade?
Do you feel how I feel?
Trapped behind these bars of molten steel
Fifteen hundred tons of iron cage
They're doing everything to cover up our eyes
Who could be so wretched not to sympathize?
Waiting like a leopard in the sugar cane

But I said who am I?
I?m just a mere poet spinning rhymes
So who am I to say?
And who are we?
We?re just simple fools out dancing in the streets
With our hearts out on display

Did you cry Novocain?
A little medicine to kill this pain tonight
Cause I can see it on your face
Do you know what I know
The only thing to do is pick yourself and get up and go
And leave it all behind
Cos I could fill up every note and fill up each refrain
With the beating of a heart filled up with love and pain
But would that suffice? My oh my

But I said who am I?
I?m just a mere poet spinning rhymes
So who am I to say?
And who are we?
We?re just simple fools out dancing in the streets
With our hearts out on display







Poets can do without rhythm and rhyme
And hearts can still beat without air for a time
And souls can be covered with dirt and decay
But ain?t it ?bout time that we washed it away?

But I said who am I?
I?m just a mere poet spinning rhymes
So who am I to say?
And who are we?
We?re just simple fools out dancing in the streets
With our hearts out on display

Who am I?
I?ve asked myself ten thousand seven hundred sixty-five times since yesterday
And who are we?
We?re just simple fools out dancing in the street
With our hearts out on display
