'Transitional'

Lyrics ©by Alex Kash. Published by Emotive Music B.M.I. All rights reserved.

Well I'm not quite here, I'm not quite there
Climbin' higher and higher but it's mighty thin air
I can't go forward, I'can't go back
No light in the tunnel but I'm on this track
Transitional
What worked before doesn't work now
The new ideas just don't sit somehow
I'm past the point of no return
My fire's smokin' but it still won't burn
Transitional
I learned a new language, that's all great
I understand but I can't translate
all the old stories are no longer true
I haven't quite replaced the old with the new
Transitional

Feel like a knockdown knockknee'd knockabout
Knockin' on a door that ain't
Or a knickknack gnostic stumblin' down the alleyway
Boot in a can of red paint

I see myself in a whole new light
I'm almost there but I'm just not quite
I've got some nerve tryin' to write this song
When all the chords are wrong
Transitional
I'm seeing things I've never seen before
But how do I apply it I'm just not sure
Sittin' in the council fire with the tribe
But how to illustrate, how to describe
Transitional

Well I'm not quite sure I can endure the lure
Of what's comin' up around the bend
But what came before, well I might want more
So I'm not sure I want it to end

One foot on the gas one foot on the brake
How much more can my poor heart take
I should go left, I could go right
I've gotta decide or just say goodnight
Transitional.
