Bob Gaulke - Four-D Blues Lyrics

4D Blues
I don't know where you've come from
I don't care where you've been
How you got that scar
Or the meaning of your name

I don't know where we're going
What it takes to free the world
Make lots of money
Or save our tiny souls

I just want this moment
I like what I feel
The music we make
Movements traced in the air

I just want these things
For a short time
Then I'll put my helmet on
And get back to my own side

I'd waited in vain for a new age
To come alive and sweep me away
Now I keep my eyes on the ground
Look for shiny things to take home

I've heard all the arguments
I know you've been wronged
You have my sympathies
We both have our jobs

I've seen the faces
I've heard the cries
I've shed my tears
I've committed my crimes

And you still want this moment
That can't be explained
My hands will be used as evidence
To press your lips against

You still want this moment
That you feel is so wrong
Purity and consistency
Are better left untouched

You waited in vain for a new age
To come alive and sweep you away
Now you've got these moments to share
I won't be greedy, but I'll take my fill

Fires are extinguished
Gloves slip over the hands
I put my suit on
I turn my back

You put the knife in
I understand
A part of me
Even gets turned on
Justice at last

You looked beautiful then
In the fading light
I'm off to somewhere else now
I'll see you there sometime
