3. Backburner
Well put these problems on the backburner / Cause we got bigger fish to fry / I took a right turn at the wrong corner / I’m headed south tonight / I’m caught in fictional reality / A single soul stuck in distress, oh yes / I am the spiritual casualty / Of a religious train wreck

But this one little moment moves my momentum onward / And onward we go / This one little moment is forward or backward down the road / That’s headed for home / This one little moment is so touch and go / This one little moment is everything in yes or no / In yes or no

The tick tick ticking of the clock now / Is that the timebomb in my mind / The two things you cannot stop . . . now / Memories and time – but I say . . .

*Chorus*

But I won’t go down this time, oh no! / I won’t go down without a fight / I’ve done the backslide nosedive / And I’ve seen my future down that line

I’m speaking in soft sounds and syllables / Learning to lean on a language of love / All my tables all got turned / Now I answer to the name Beloved / To the name Beloved . . ./ Yeah you can call me Beloved

So put these problems on the backburner / We’re dining out tonight / My lover saved me a seat in the back corner / He’s serving up bread and wine / Yeah, he’s serving up bread and wine / He’s serving up peace of mind / Yeah, he’s saying, “Come on and dine” / He’s saying, “Come on and dine” / He’s saying, “Leave this world behind”
