'Caught in a Turnstile' by BB

'Caught in a Turnstile'

Steely, blue smoke
Rising up through ash
The foggy Phoenix
Caught in a blaze.
All of to-day
Rolled into yester-days.
I got to escape
this maze--

Before I get caught 
in the turnstile 
of a meddling life.

That's life. 


Bittersweet, nicotine
Blackened coffee grind
A song so sweet,
You'll sing
Melodies of strife and pride. 
But we gotta--
We got to--
We got to escape
this maze--

 Before we get caught 
in the turnstile 
of a meddling life.

That's life. 

There's more to this.
There's got to be--
more to this.
One more kiss
before I take the road
'neath my feet.
Disappear--
down an unseen street. 
 No time for "Good-bye's"
Can't stop for "Hello's"
Maybe you don't,
but every One knows--

I got to escape,

But this maze

Is life.

.Eternity.
