Collusion
[Verse 1]
In this country of nowhere
On this sphere of spheres
On the 19th day of April
When the full moon re-appears
[Verse 2]
There's a new one for the old guard
It's a cautionary tale
From the front porch and the backyard
One last postcard in the mail
[Verse 3]
From the 440 Parkway
You can take the 40 west
Perhaps it's best we part ways
'Til I get this off my chest
[Verse 4]
We could end before it starts up
But then, what would be the point?
You think she's out but then she sparks up
'Cause she loves to rock this joint
[Chorus 1]
Collu-collu-collusion
I've got nothing to hide
My imagination
Behind tired eyes open wide
Collu-collu-collusion
I'm told that's what they call it down here
But maybe Doug was simply
Bending my ear
[Verse 5]
We're scheming down in Dreamland
Through futures black and white
Our mind is crossing interstates
And provinces of night
[Verse 6]
Spin some Southern Gothic
To find some northern haze
C'mon man, come off it
Slow it down on lazy days
[Chorus 2]
Collu-collu-collusion
Man, the fix is in
Confusing this illusion
Is anyone listening?
Collu-collu-collusion
I'm told that's what they call it down here
Counting down
My 44 years
[Verse 7]
One eye on the white line
Between the dream and the delusion
One on the horizon
As we cruise into
[Chorus 3]
Collu-collu-collusion
I heard it on the wire
Blowin' kisses to the misses
And so it does conspire
Collu-collu-collusion
I'm told that's what they call it down here
But maybe Doug was simply
Bending my ear
[Outro]
Objections in the rear view mirror
Maybe closer than they appear
