[Verse 1] Well the world zips by with abrupt key changes And it flies apart and rearranges Like a spider on the wall, I get around But man I'd love to see you in my hometown Just walking up my street, with your cadence that's unique Overshadow innocence with knowledge The kind you don't pick up in college [Chorus] All my rhyme schemes don't work sometimes But you talk in poetry, and you know that moves me I'm so far down some poet's highway And I am missing you, and I hope you're missing me too [Verse 2] Well boyish charm, it don't cut it no more I got the devil knocking on my front door I got a pregnant mind, and I'm in labour It may be a breech don't you do me no favours There's a thought in there for you And if you don't know what to do Send your box tops in care of me And if you came to the gig, well I'll let you in free [Chorus] All my rhyme schemes don't work sometimes But you talk in poetry, and you know that moves me I'm so far down some poet's highway And I am missing you, and I hope you're missing me too [Verse 3] I've been up and down a busted ladder It's broken and insane, but I am madder I've been through the valley of the shadow of death I got to the other side only to find another test But I'll bet you passed it too If not I'll help you through Coffee and cigarettes let's talk shop We don't need emotional traffic cops {Chorus} All my rhyme schemes don't work sometimes But you talk in poetry, and you know that moves me I'm so far down some poet's highway And I am missing you, and I hope you're missing me too 'Cause all my rhyme schemes don't work sometimes But you talk in poetry, and you know that moves me I'm so far down some poet's highway And I am missing you, and I hope you're missing me too 'Cause all my rhyme schemes don't work sometimes But you talk in poetry, and you know that moves me I'm so far down some poet's highway And I am missing you, and I hope you're missing me too
