[Well if you’re out and about on the freeways this morning, no dinosaurs to worry about.]

So many ways to wade beyond the lines that border us, come on
Don’t take a shot or smoke to trigger just a little bit, come on

Can’t be a crime to meddle
Can’t be wrong to push the pedal
Queasy in grime, no fellow
Standing bones don’t up the level

So many times the prints don’t match the brush that painted it, come on
Don’t take a forge or fake to dazzle as a conjurer, come on

Behind the drape, an agent
behind aims a grave arrangement
Stuck in the slime, no paddle
Guarded lives don’t tend to dabble

Legalize this principle
Jump into a spot not visible
Bring it closer to the middle
What’s so right with control
What’s left but
Wander from the cynical
Take a look at views atypical
With an answer to the riddle
As a tightening grip
Just when it starts to let go

[hocus pocus]

So many ways
Can’t be a crime
Behind the drape

Wander from the cynical
Take a look at views atypical
With an answer to the riddle
As a tightening grip
Just when it starts to let go

Jump into a spot not visible
Bring it closer to the middle
What’s so right with control
A slipping grip is let go
