Mixed Blessing
(Stephen Smoke)
Sometimes I think my life is a struggle to stay sane
Tryin' my best not to cross that line
Meditate in the morning I catch a white light train
Medicate at night with a bottle a' wine
Look on down from the silver tightrope
Some people call it heaven, some call it hell
Most people don't know how to gauge the distance
Most people don't know they already fell
Refrain:
Maybe I know what a person is not supposed to know
Maybe I go where a person is not supposed to go
It's a mixed blessing
Strange days
A mixed blessing
It's magical in ways
(It's a) sweet taste of power to make the puppet dance
Feet flying on wings of fire
A sacred blaze illuminates the maze
And for an instant there is no getting any higher
Refrain:
