Autumn Blue - Five Fingers Of Funk

Late at night I'm writing got a lot on my mind 
Exchanging midnight beats for sleep 'cause time's hard to find 
Spent the whole day hiking through the city on a mission 
Wishing I was living under different conditions 
Looking for a face in the crowd I don't know 
Looking past glass as if my nerves don't show 
Looking for a new way to say one pairs of prints ain't enough 
Me have to bluff me have no trust that makes it hard for me to open up 
But I play the role and now nobody knows what's in me 
I'm past the point of thinking that I could ever win see 
I get all choked up about something that isn't there 
Fair Skinned Earth Autumn Sun Through Black Hair "Where?" 
Over there on college campus ground pavement 
I turn my head it's just a shadow that's how my day went 
My spirits fall like golden leaves from autumn trees 
Collected in the street by the cool as 'trane fall breeze 
Autumn Blue... 
I'm looking out the window just to watch the block 
Residential hotels smack addicts in flocks 
A lazy day waitress with the hand that rocks 
The ladle wipes the table feet below dreadlocks 
Tickled ivories trickle out a modest speaker 
Don't mind being alone but I'd be glad to greet her 
One hundred and twenty miles from home but still in my dome 
Pick up the phone and maybe later I'll see her 
A happy couple crosses Second Ave. holding hands 
I'm glad I'm not happy 'cause I still can't stand 
The weight of a crush a light brush induced blush 
That anxiety rush of that uncomforable hush 
In conversation that two second pause feels like I'm waiting 
For a bus I may have missed when I'm already late and 
It's raining on my clean clothes day four of a new job 
Well maybe it's not that
