snapshot memories

well i'm a secret lemonade drinker a free thinker

i stay focused but not blinkered

and these snapshot memories in my mind

legacies from another time

and i find

that as the days pass the colours fade

but the images remain

grazed knees

page three's

bmx

atari's

dayglo

velcro

yoyo's

beano's

hip hop

don't stop

starwars figures

football stickers

cola bottles

jerry cottles

fat laces

dirty faces

kiss chases

wacky races

herbie hancock

kurtis blow

roxanne shante

ufo

hip hop

don't stop

everything's in slow motion

hands in the air

sweat flying everywhere

but we don't care

well you could try to fight the feeling

but i can't see the use

there's so much love in this room

and yes its all drug induced

can't remember who i am

or what i'm doing here

but at the same time

in my mind

everything is clear

no fear and no drama

it's all good karma

and i never can forget

the night before the morning after

sun up to sun down

come up to come down

just waiting for friday to come around

sun rise to sun set

how high can we get

monday morning and none of us have slept yet

well there's more to life than this

of that i'm fully aware

but there's nothing more intense

than crazy nights we shared

we got bass for the body

chemicals for the head

every day lives

were like a skin we shed

well you could try to fight the feeling

but i can't see the use

there's so much love in this room

of that we're living proof

you could try to fight the feeling

but i can't see the use

it's a shame that in the end

it was all drug induced

even as i watch you

all the rest seems to disappear

you pull me in with your tractor beams

and wrap me up in your wicked schemes

my sunday morning eyes observe

your cadbury's skin uncurve

and in tronic patterned venetian light

you moonwalk to the bathroom

well you move across my space without friction

you're so unbelievable you must be fiction

or perhaps a premonition

but as i listen

i hear your footfall softly

and all my troubles fall away from me

so easily

but so slowly

all these memories in my mind

i'm still a secret lemonade drinker
