Ballad of a Poet

He came on like a mountaineer Exploring beauty through the syllables and cheers And there was, something different in the air Something magical, the crowd was unprepared And he was long and lean he held that stage And Jenny looked at me with reverence on her face And she said we left our bodies there that night Cause the music shook our souls and saved our lives Tonight we radiate The lines have been erased And I can't leave this place, leave this place, leave this place This ain't New York or Berlin It's just a small town Bringdown, kind of happening He had conviction etched upon his face Like any verse from some fucked up William Blake He was cloaked in denim head to toe He traded words like souvenirs in stereo Something different about this night Cause it was happening right before our eyes Tonight we radiate The lines have been erased And I can't leave this place, leave this place, leave this place Tonight we radiate, Tonight we radiate Tonight we radiate The lines have been erased And I can't leave this, I can't leave this place Tonight we radiate The lines have been replaced And I can't leave this, I can't leave this place He came on like a mountaineer Exploring beauty through the syllables and cheers And there was, something different in the air Something magical, the crowd was unprepared
