Metrognome

Pounding the pavement
Walking the streets
Ain't no other place I'd rather be

Traveling instinct
Distinctly migrate
Never too early nor never too late

Step with a limp
Across white lines
Can't stop myself do it all the time

Eyes always forward
Straight ahead's all I see
Can't look behind someone's following me

Some say I'm crazy
The cars honk their horns
I Don't watch where I'm going I just keep keeping on

Call it compulsion
Locked in a blank stare
Constant propulsion may yet get me here

To fight or flight
My will ain't free
It's black and white my only choice is to flee

Out of my hands
When I out of my mind
It's up to my legs to seek what they'll find

One foot leads off
To start on the way
Deep under cover under cover of day
