On Common Ground

by Jean Koning

Hey there I'm calling from the station I matched a complication On common ground Hey there The reason that I'm calling I do believe we're falling On common ground Hey there I still see you quiver On the bottom of the river On common ground Hey there A fault in my insurance In need of some assistance On common ground Hey there Six foot and arising Now retread in hiding On common ground Hey there After the latest visit We were each other's witness On common ground On common ground Hey there Did you ever escape her? That tender Venus in fur? On common ground Hey there No further hesitations This freak of human nature On common ground Hey there She came on as a manic Breath slightly vitriolic On common ground Hey there Took the morning papers You just left for breakfast On common ground Hey there Left alone to beat it The way that you would treat it On common ground On common ground

You can trample on my broken heart I still put my foot down We can quarrel 'till we're in the grave I still put my foot down You managed to pin me to the floor And lead them to my door You tell me to answer no more And lead me to my door You wrote the book I then explored And lead it to my door You tell me I'm a saddening bore And leave me at my door You can trample on my broken heart I still put my foot down We can quarrel 'till we're in the grave I still put my foot down And put my foot down And put my foot down You may tenderise the meat you crave And lead them to my door You may show me things through Purple Haze And leave me long for more The rusty blade that made me sore Was leading to my door I never once lost this much control I never showed you my door Did I lead you to my door Did I lead you to my door Did I lead you to my door Did I lead you to my door Did I You can trample on my broken heart I still put my foot down We can quarrel 'till we're in the grave I still put my foot down Put my foot down I put my foot down I put my foot down I put my foot down I

I was just thinking Here with the Dream King Just relax and let me pull back your hood Such a strange thing Let the rain in Here while I pull back your hood Completely wasted And nearly naked Let's enjoy our goods I was watching You were enjoying As you pulled back my hood We're like islands We're like islands Tropical islands The last hood in L.A. Once you taste it They say we waste it Trade in "sin" for-good We stay unmentioned Tempered the tension Like sin lies 'neath the hood Completely wasted And nearly naked We enjoy our goods I said I was just thinking Me and the Rain King Relax, let me pull back your hood We're like islands We're like islands Tropical islands
