How many masks do we wear on stage? How many in life? |
It began with a pair of ice skates
Then a stroll outdoors
Before looking on in horror
Whilst holding a cup of joe
I walked past a mugging
Then ignored the victim
On a train in The Loop
Back to the ice
To cheer on some kids
Superfan they called me
Was at a swank nightclub in NYC
Before changing to go to lunch
I attended a wedding with firefighters
Shared drinks with the cops
And in a suit and tie was the FBI
Dissing Superheroes
Used as a human pylon I sat in every section at Comiskey Park
Even tough they don't call it that anymore
Cheering the new owner of the Sox as she made a mockery of the game
Saw cutting edge comedy
Before the blade was sharpened
And even went on a first date
After a tour with the National Guard
I've made trips in black and white
To another time an hour out of town
Healing a town after the zombie apocalypse
And networked with actors
Before the owner came home
When the seasons changed
I sat in court as a hiphop mogul was granted bail
I covered the event for network news
Was sent to a middle managers conference
But all I did was pace the halls
Today I'm at the airport
Dodging bullets
Destination unknown
