Ghostwriter Blues

​

Oh, honey, you know I’m tryin’ 

None of these concepts are alignin’

Pick and polish, tweak, repeat 

Just tryna keep you on your feet 

​

Mundane structure, not my game

Spellin’ full color, that’s my aim 

Engage, inspire, motivate 

I’m just tryin’ to communicate 

​

Lost in process, a violent sea 

Wonderin’ now, what waits for me

Will I make it to the other side? 

Am I gettin’ out this prose alive? 

 

You think they’ll know, I know they’ll pause

That fine effect ain’t got no cause

Clarify, refine, and translate 

I’m just tryin’ to communicate 

​

Hours pass, still ain’t tip top 

Walls closin’ in, the clock won’t stop

Just one small change, no make it two

Am I gettin’ through to you? 

​

I’ll tell you what you wanna say 

It sounds much better phrased this way

Change the angle, manipulate 

Oh, I’m just tryin’ to communicate 

​

Were those my ideas or were they yours?

Don’t matter, baby, I ain’t keepin’ score

Change that angle, manipulate

Lookin’ like that, could it be fate? 

​

Oh, when it’s clear, you’ll understand

Anything is possible in this land

Clarify, refine and translate 

Let’s turn that wall into a gate

 

Babe, it’s time to do that thing 

Can’t deny the opportunities it will bring

Engage, inspire, motivate 

Take action, honey, don’t you wait 

​

Pick and polish, tweak and repeat

Close these eyes and count to three

Fresh mind readin’ every word 

What I said, baby, that’s what you heard
