Forever Soul

Forever after never happens if you have to Whatever happens better promise that we snap to Open hat, left a pocket for the chatter Chat her ears to the bone and then hope she don't come to Still we come through Ain't ever run it back Back the thoughts that have spawned got to trust that Through the days sitting silly by a bottle jack Seeing clearly through the eye of my third bag Pack it in for the night, sleep tight Leave a twenties on the table and then wake to see the bag shine Good morning lately Shit means nothing to the fall guy Cause by the afternoon I wake to see the sun slide But yeah the proof is in the pudding, I ain't ever got a plate-full Skinny kiddie looking hungry for the truth Still we stand tall I've been listening to old, hope for better days Better lines in the songs, cooler lemonade Better food on my plate, I'm in the limelight Stuck in my ways, early morning with the warm pint Warning signs been there since dawning light But you'll still see me tripping forcing more things right Forever soul on the needle spinning 45's Soup for one on the table, horns passing by I need a 16 daily just to close my eyes And a six-string baby in my single life You need a king-skin daily just to walk on by I need a hymn-sung single, Move On Up on the side So cold Forever ever soul's the truth - so cold Whoever sold the truth's no joke Forever souls the route Take my time flipping singles through tired fingers Fired trills over choir lines and crashing symbols Walk in hand with a bass line that lingers Long after the crackle From a needle In a kitchen Forever soul Forever hurting from the truth that we were told Ain't got no Donny with a trumpet still I'll kick it on my own The revolution will not be televised still you'll stream it on a phone They say that cash rules everything But those around me staying broke I'm seeing zero's in my pockets, collecting nada when I pass go Harder to keep afloat, sinking lower in a dark hole Two thousand seasons spent drinking, drowning sorrows Shutting curtains while the light grows Forever soul
