Triping the Light Fantastic

Q without the A:

I’ve got lead in my belly
Anti-freeze in my veins
I got that light fantastic
Trippin round my brain

cause my mind’s always been made up
Of fat strawberries and iron rust
i have dreams like amphetamine
but my plans always turn to dust

your voice puts hope inside me
your heart puts holy water my veins
you've got that light fantastic
tripin round my brain

you got me going down the wrong side of the tracks
towards an oncoming train

you got me singing in the shower
and smiling in the rain

my heart skips a beat
whenever i hear your name

i wish i could read your thoughts
so i could ascertain

weather my chances are one in a million
or if we're a sure thing

should i speak my mind or play it safe?
do i even have it in me to make things plain?

is time on my side?
or am i losing this campaign?

can i keep waiting?
when i'm growing so tired of the game

if the answers to my questions
go against the grain
if you broadcast the message
that you don't feel the same
then i don't know if i could ever see myself
triping the light fantastic again

You write: "you got me going down the wrong side of the tracks
towards an oncoming train". So I believe the sound thing to do is to broadcast one do not feel the same. :-)

INVITATION

Invited hereby to my site
please be. You see I poems write
and knight like fight and youth alight.
This poem says it. Godly, right?

I want more readers. I want you
to come as if out from the blue
and tell me what I write is true
and make my motivation new.

Why you? This is not spam, God’s dear.
I stand by what I do. I care.
Your senseless love to me I fear.
I mean it. I am good. Take care.
