I remember Soul Train
like a time release capsule
people dancing in afro puffs
couldn't get enough of the
funky stuff everything was
rock steady exchanging buts
doing the bump to the fine
tune of bad mama jamma
all love I mean WAR what is
it good for sep't death
I heard John Henry died
wielding a hammer then
there's Thor one of them
is a lie the other a metaphor
been here before seen
the curtains before they
tore might be back again
before the end If not then
what am I here for
can't be just a waste of
skin it's about to begin
like a repeat performance
remember what I told you
to forget is a ballad to
memorialize there's a man
on the phone and he
want's to come home
just a song? I think not
stuck in my head
like a big round knot
not a tumor but a rumor
I must have forgot
many times removed
but still playing the same track
