You can learn a lot about life from Moss Park I’m 20 years in still scared of the dark I’ve seen it all, I sleep under the lights I got scars from the tar and bites from the night Alright It’s alright
I sleep in late on the grass when it’s nice The park bench baby when the air is ice Breakfast is hot, handout church rice Begging and scrounging, men are mice Rise and shine, crack a beer 365 Saturdays a year
I’m starvin’ I cannot eat no more I’m lyin’ I cannot cheat no more I’m beggin’ I cannot keep no more My sole, my will, my heart I’m living dark Man I’m living dark in Moss Park man I live in the dark I live in the dark
I’m fucked up man, beyond belief I’m quiverin’, shiverin’, there is no relief I’m on the shady side of the street I’m starched, I’m parched Barely out of the heat Just collapsed, I will awake all confused Can’t remember if I was just fucked up or abused I go hard, I go high I chirp at the passers on the side And wear a hat that reads “too high to die”
I’m starvin’ I cannot eat no more I’m lyin’ I cannot cheat no more I’m beggin’ I cannot keep no more My sole, my will, my heart I’m living dark Man I’m living dark in Moss Park man I live in the dark I live in the dark
