My Window

In my window

In my window

In my window

In my window

Yeah

I put on my headphones as I plan to escape

That's when I start to see sounds understanding the shapes

'Cause when life get's bananas in this planet of apes

I'm in my window like the nosey old man in the drapes

Cut it out like an unwanted hand in faith

Through my blinds every man glimpse and tamper with fate

Tune the world out shiftshape phantom of space

Random thoughts on the canvas hold your orbit in place

In my window I keep it cracked open just a little so the wind blow

To carry me to places I ain't never been like Indo-nesia

So at my leisure I can float above the leaning tower of Pisa

Without a visa with this procedure

Wild out on instrumentals

Simmer down now

Heavy mental take me away

The calgon route

Roam the mind of memories lost

And saw my grandchild

In a future window waiting for a moment like now

In my window

In my window

In my window

In my window

I paint myself blacker

Queen of Sheba

African features

My laughter a sax line

Coltrane's Naima

Paint the past and present

Rapped in flatted sevenths

On a blues scale stepping

Stairway to heaven

See myself living my dreams with my eyes open

Far from guys moping who never tried coping

And only ties ropes into nooses

Feeling useless when they high sloping

Analyse scoping

So when I

Dash to the window

My pace the same tempo

Of an old love song

Strumming the pain of the banjo

Potted plants and candles

Peep and get cancelled

Willow trees weep on the streets

And frame scandals

Then I start writing bars

Lighting cigars of planet Mars

Dumping ashes that look like falling stars

While the chain that I'm wearing hangs over me

Dips down to sun so when it swings

It's like a solar eclipse in my window

In my window

In my window

In my window

In my window
