Thought For Food i was born in a place and time, i was given life
or was it..strife
well, i had a life
and someday i died, before my time
the alarm never went off
i never got out of bed
to start the day
the day started me
my story has never been told
it has never been sold
but it's always been known
it's always shown
you've passed me by
on the street, at a store
next in line, scanning eyes
scanner checking my pockets
presumed guilty then innocent
maybe you saw me at a movie
on the screen or behind the glass
maybe with silver on it
i was born in a place and time, i was given life
or was it..strife
well, i had a life
and someday i died, before my time
the alarm never went off
i never got out of bed
to start the day
the day started me
my story had begun
at the age of twenty one
but i graduated
so fast, so maybe
you passed me by
on the street, at a store
next in line, scan my eyes
scanner reading your purchase
i looked surrogate
maybe you saw me at the movie
blocking the screen or behind the glass
pouring butter on it
sugar coating...
i was born.....
a place, a time
a name replaced by a place in line
a dish, a scoop
an anonymous caller
and i call out to you
with the same voice
you have no clue who i am
but i have no choice
cause i'm in your head
and that's too close for comfort,
friend
