Automatic For The People



Find The River





Hey now, little speedyhead,



The read on the speedmeter says



You have to go to task in the city



Where people drown and people serve.



Dont be shy. Your just deserve



Is only just light years to go.







Me, my thoughts are flower strewn



Ocean storm, bayberry moon.



I have got to leave to find my way.



Watch the road and memorize



This life that pass before my eyes.



Nothing is going my way.







The ocean is the rivers goal,



A need to leave the water knows



Were closer now than light years to go.







I have got to find the river,



Bergamot and vetiver



Run through my head and fall away.



Leave the road and memorize



This life that pass before my eyes.



Nothing is going my way.







Theres no one left to take the lead,



But I tell you and you can see



Were closer now than light years to go.



Pick up here and chase the ride.



The river empties to the tide.



Fall into the ocean.







The river to the ocean goes,



Afortune for the undertow.



None of this is going my way.



There is nothing left to throw



Of Ginger, lemon, indigo,



Coriander stem and rose of hay.



Strength and courage overrides



The privileged and weary eyes



Of river poet search naivete.



Pick up here and chase the ride.



The river empties to the tide.



All of this is coming your way.
