Walking Sideways

© 2019  Charly Humbolt

Down, down, down knocked to my knees
(down, down, down)
feet nailed, nailed to the ground

walking sideways

If I were in the ocean swimmin' around
would have surely by now likely by now
drowned
    (down, down, down)
walking sideways

Feelings got me married to that blue soul jive
can't even laugh
can't even cry 

Oh I've tried beatin' it before it beats me
blue soul jive
    (blue soul jive)
keeps crashin' over me
wave after wave
(blue soul jive)
keeps crashin' over me
in wave after wave
(blue soul jive)

Down, down, down face in the mud
just like a snake through the thick and dirty muck
 (walking sideways, walking sideways)
slithering around to get unstuck
long over due for some good old fashion luck

walking sideways
I’m walking sideways
walking sideways
walking sideways
walking sideways

Too bad this was not a dance
blue soul jive
at least I'd then have a chance - a fighting chance
to move to move to move my feet

oh I've tried beatin' it beatin' it before it beats me
    (not a dance)
this blue soul jive
(blue soul jive)
keeps crashin' over me
wave after wave
keeps crashin' over me
    (keeps crashin' over me)

in wave after wave   
wave after wave
keeps crashin' over me
wave, wave, wave after wave

keeps crashin' over me
in wave, wave
keeps crashin' over me
in wave after wave

(blue soul jive)
keeps crashin' over me

(blue soul jive)
keeps crashin' over me
(blue soul jive)

keeps crashin' over me
(walking sideways)
(walking sideways)
    (walking sideways)
