`Sticking It`

`Sticking It`   Wheels spinning, sticking it, slicking it up
heaven was never like this
fortune and fame playing the game
all for a dollar, a name and a kiss

thinking it wise, the stage and the lies
hell's fun has its price to pay
too many, too soon, see an early demise
avoiding advice for a vice to play

a flaming caddy is crazy- snazzy and jazzy- cool
just the same it's a slippery ride on the road
and everybody wants to party and play the fool
but nobody wants to carry their own load


blame it on him, blame it on her
just don't blame it on me
whether at fault or not the weather was a blur
well, the wipers wouldn't work and we just couldn't see

I feel the crash coming on from the first line, the dare and bravado, and the have to read on to discover their fate.

eclectic electric~ joy to witness how the rhythm got into your nimble mind and nimble fingers~ on a serious note~ what I spy with my surreal tipped but reality trained eye is a rhythmic cautionary tale against driving under the influence of mind altering substances presented in a youth relatable rhythm~ brava~
