Ted James - Checkers Club
Ted James - Checkers ClubVerse One: Ted JamesI did my last vocal take for Expand Your MindThen hit the road for Chicago with an axe to grindHead spinning, heart hollow, felt out of timeNew beginnings, demons follow, you can't press rewindOld endings made me wallow in a dream's declineCan't swallow destiny in a bottle so I broke a bindRenewed faith over lotto, so I split the shrineYes, beating Bush was my motto, so I was on the grindFound a crew that was live and we were on the grindInterconnect the voter drive, we too on the grindSwing the broom stick at the hive, watch a change arriveSing a dream back alive from where it can't surviveDetroit was realized before I was out of timeWatched my words live like truth through my own two eyesThe Tigers rallied in the tenth, watched it by his sideWatched his eyes recline into a better timePerhaps a future time, he knew the grand designHe knew how hearts align, he knew to spot the signOf the beauty of an angel and how her kiss combinesWith the bliss that you exist through when your lost in timeBut he was ahead in time, I was too damn blindTo play a game so simple at that point in timeHad too much on my mind, had to search to findTime to play checkers like it's chess, drink a glass of wineChorus: Dave Mustaine of Megadeth [Sample]Don't remember where I wasI realized life was a gameMore seriously I took thingsThe harder the rules becameVerse Two: Ted JamesVerse two, we don't care, but I really didI wish she knew how I was scared that I was shutting inRoom for two on this journey, no I never didTell her in D.C. I was yearning for that happy endCould have swept her off her feet but couldn't let her inSo it was back to Texas heat, all alone againBroken heart, my spoken art was my only friendThat I could saddle with the pain that I was holding inToo late for fairy tales, I had to learn to shineNew beginnings, demons trail, you can't press rewindOld endings made me exhale in a dream's declineSo I put my mind into my work, took her off my mindTook him off my mind, condition in declineHad no choice to find, so walked the picket lineThe good soldier line to make a change arriveBut the rage inside was just too hard to hideHad I lost my time to make him know my mind?Growing doubt combined with going out my mindSo I set out to find a final bout, remindedIn a drought grow vines and let them sprout designSing a dream back alive from where it can't surviveCling to grapes until they thrive then let the juices windUp in a bottle on the table where he can know my mindKnow she's on my mind, he knew the grand designI was right on time, she called me one more timeAnd flew down just in time to let him see we're fineWatch our hearts align, we watched his eyes remindUs of a better time, perhaps the past is blindYou're never out of time when you release your mindPut the board on the table and rebuild the shrineThen your pain combines with the search to findTime to play checkers like it's chess, drink a glass of wineChorus: Dave Mustaine of Megadeth [Sample]Don't remember where I wasI realized life was a gameMore seriously I took thingsThe harder the rules becameI had no idea what it'd costMy life passed before my eyesI found out how little I accomplishedAll my plans denied (repeat)© 2007 Millinium VII Entertainment / Produced by D-Wattz / Mixed by D-Wattz / Recorded at M7 Studios / Sample: Megadeth - À Tout le Monde [1995 Capitol Records]#M7Classic
