Friction and Heat L Dunn © 2019
Verse I’ve been at a crossroads Where blood, sweat, and tears meet Rolled up my sleeves, salvaged dreams That collided with the street Found little room to entertain Suspension of disbelief
Chorus In the friction and heat In the friction and heat
Verse I’ve seen teflon smiles Front confidence schemes A dealer and his shill, fleece a mark Who wagers he can follow the queen
And the art lies in their sleight of hand
Quicker than the eye can see
Chorus
Bridge
Shifting through the gears
Steering clear of crossed bare wires
On myside of the line, inbounds
Out of the line of fire
Verse
I’ve heard slander pass as judgement
Roll off tongues in double speak
A Judas kiss fall from tender lips
For thirty pieces of deceit
And as I’m whistling passed the graveyard
Smoke’s curling up around me feet
Chorus
Verse and Chorus outro
I’ve been at a crossroads
Where blood, sweat, and tears meet
Rolled up my sleeves, salvaged dreams
That collided with the street…
In the friction and heat, friction and heat
Friction and heat, out in the friction and heat
