Moving Work Of Art

 			   
Time is jammed and flying fast
 			      
Brakes are bad the pot holes rough
			       
I’m out here running from the past
                    
What we had was not enough

 				   
Heard she’s just touched down in Hollywood
			       
And her friends all say she’s looking good
 			  
I saw it coming from the start
                      
She’s a moving work of art

The night is thick the moon rings red
The stars are out of place
My mind is liquid in my head
Beneath the waves I see her face

Bet she pulls herself some tall coin down
Turning heads out there in Tinsel Town
She’s so cool it breaks your heart
She’s a moving work of art

Who we were and what we had
Keeps me guessing to this day
It’s enough to drive me mad
She’s a million miles away

I know she’s out there thinking on her feet
Making passes thrown fall incomplete
She’s as smooth as she is smart
She’s a moving work of art

It’s how she sets herself apart
She’s a moving work of art
