Who Wants To Know
When a flower becomes a seed
Seed becomes the flower’s need
Where you go is where you been
Rustling leaves become the wind
 
Who Wants to Know?
 
Walking ‘long a city lane
Steps becoming much the same
One in front and two behind
Footprints makin’ visible time
 
Who Wants to Know?
 
Laundry basket, ticking clock
Worn out shirts and holey socks
Sorting out the old and new
Bag ‘em, toss ‘em down the chute
 
Breaking news now breaking wind
Papa comes talkin’ I just sinned
My land your land God and war and
Bush league big league intrigue and
 
Who wants to know?
Who wants to know?
Sometime mother, I wonder when
Here and now, there and then
Who Wants to know?
 
What’s the buzz now what’s the line
Tell your story I’ll tell mine
Propaganda, whatya after
Claws in me like a gentle raptor
 
Pictures painting; seemly scenes
Manifesting; dire dreams
Phantoms surfing Emptiness
Hollow, hungry, with finesse
 
Who wants to know?
Who wants to know?
