Vagabondage

Musical Accompaniment:

Black Label Society - Just Killing Time

You can't get lost on a Roman road for all roads lead to Rome
But I can't read the way markers and I've traveled far from home

I'm growing weary of the walking, my soles are long worn out

I've been tested by the elements, suffered blizzard, monsoon, drought

My fellow travelers all seem to know their destination

Yet I know not where I am headed despite all my meditation

I was never one to ask for help, I go it best alone

But all these years of wandering have lead me outside my comfort zone

 Yet after inquires and petitions I soon learned to my dismay

There's no one else upon the road who can point me the right way

So I'll steel myself and carry on without a clue where I am going

I'll find out when I get there for the proof is in the knowing

To those not living

Damien Rice - Coconut Skins

Sure you could go on cautious in this world so full of dangers

You can stick to the people you know and forget that they were once strangers

You can play it by the book and never take a gamble

But the irony of it all, is that it'll still end up a shamble

You can restrict your diet and remain physically fit

Then someday outta nowhere crab hammer scores a critical hit

Time is ever fleeting and one day we'll all be dust

But there's nothing more to come once we're laid beneath the crust

Make the most of what you've got now

Gotta make this life worth it somehow

There's no reason for this hurrying

For god sakes stop this worrying

Enjoy life as it passes by

So you face no regrets when it's time to die

The National - Afraid of Everyone

All this time spent on the run

Just to end up back at square one

 Just when I thought I was getting somewhere

I realized I'm climbing a Penrose stair

The repetition is making me nauseous

And all my misfortunes have made me too cautious

 I don't know how to break the cycle

This is old hat in the life if Michael

I don't have the means to help me here

So I'm drowning myself in whiskey and beer

I'm gonna battle with 86 proof

The monsters that've got me up on the roof

But if you see me call out my name

I'm not deaf yet, I'm only to blame
