Revised 9th and vine


[Verse 1]

A man with weathered skin, tattered coat,

Standin' on this street corner, from shadows

Cannot cope, nope, so he screams obscenities, 

He's poundin', screamin', angry words no meaning

He wants every word, heard, yet message obscured.

He doesn't care, that we, aren't listening, so

He continues ranting, I can't hear what he's saying, 

Over my radio playin', while waiting at the light


[Chorus]

Between 9th and vine, He crossed the line

Into traffic, and I saw, sitting in my car,

Commotion, emotion, happenin' in front of me

Madness, sadness, tormented insanity


[Verse 2]

Now in the street, bangin on windows of cars

Spewing hateful words, obscenities

He's angry at god, and the empty man he sees

Tearing his beard, throws hands to sky, he cries

Inner turmoil on his skin, yells we've all sinned

He's jesus resurrected, as it was prophesized 

And I realized that, he could be me, easily

A late payment, foreclosed, divorce, anything


[Chorus]

Between 9th and vine, He crossed the line

Into traffic, and I saw, sitting in my car,

Commotion, emotion, happenin' in front of me

Madness, sadness, tormented insanity


[Outro]

In a moment of clarity, sanity, I left my car

Offered him some of my serenity, humanity,

For that moment, he was grateful, that he,

Felt the need to hug me, we embraced, until, 

The police came and took him away, that day,

I'll never forget, forever blazed, on my heart
