One By One

Out of time don’t know what’s next

I’m burning down like a cigarette

Stay in line in single file

or break out walk away in style


A chain reaction in my mind

explodes in color every time

kaleidoscopic eyes I find

and one by one we stand in line


One by one

in the barrel of a smoking gun

One by one

To the beat of a single drum


I drive the engine turning time

The heart of my internal rhyme

It spins the wheels for evermore

and takes me deep into the core


Of my sensation

no more burning me in two

all along I’ve cried for you

now this time I know who’s who


One by one

in the barrel of a smoking gun

One by one

To the beat of a single drum


I’m gone I’m done I’m off the run

The walls are down forever gone

The situation’s changed withdrawn

awake I find what I have longed


One by one

in the barrel of a smoking gun

One by one

To the beat of a single drum
