Preparation Alley |
LyricsPREPARATION ALLEY ©Fred IsraelStuck here in quest of the distant next a moment inflicts it's notice And once again I clutch the hand of this great land struggling to wriggle out of the sand We must bear the weight of these assignments prisoners listeners tossing in our sleep shakin off those dreams I created surround me memories my faithful mannikans As years slide by slyly tears evaporate footprints can't escape carving out my fate (chorus:) Preperation Alley seems like I've been waiting here sometime Hesitation alley.. trash can tops are rattling like snakes on the vine. Fix me a pretty dream groom it to custom fit but please don't make it leave so easily I'll follow it down a river's stream oh do not touch it.t's too good for these three D's. Now I've stood here before not knowing what lies beyond the open door And so I've come back to try to find a way to untie the knots explain the shocks but it's never enough signals cross up and I'm heading backwards on a highway singing the blues down (chorus:) Preparation alley (etc) you still don't know what you want to be when you grow up the thrill of the search drives you wild but doesn't fill your cup Shrouded in mystery answers dance so deep within your grace ready to leap into your cave premonitions sacred visions.. honed mind primed by time skillful as a slave. And everytime I look for love I'm blind to what is lookin' straight at me And everytime I think i've had enough confused and confounded put a frame around it i realize i'm quietly sliding right back into place (chorus:) Preparation Alley |
