Stratosphere: S Sevo© 2004
I smoked to clear my mind,
relief from this sour day
Truth’s a mirror of your will,
distorted as a fisherman’s tale
I drank to unwind
the tangles that life fastens me by
I closed my eyes
and slipped away through the radio waves
Stumbling forward drunk with all of my maybes
Would you share all that you dare to be
It’s the fare cause
You have left me no choice
I have to get myself out of here
And go up there in the stratosphere

I compromised cause I looked forward
but walked into the get by
The worlds a lousy place when no one cares
to see you’ve changed
I thought her love would make me tall
like city skyscrapers, invincible
But black and white her eyes only saw

Stumbling forward drunk with all of my maybes
Would you share all that you dare to be
It’s the fare cause
You have left me no choice
I have to get myself out of here
And go up there in the stratosphere

Can you blame me for trying to escape
What’s the real world got for me anyways
I’m getting comfortable in bed under the sheets
So what’s the real world got for me anyways

You have left me no choice
I have to get myself out of here
And go up there in the stratosphere
