I Got You Covered Songtext

von Michael Johnson

It's time to ask the homeless to go home
Happenings must happen on their own
Deep in your bed the truth is known
You do not stand together, you stand alone

You're always talkin' about what you're doin'
Who you're seeing and who you're screwing
It comes out subtle and it comes out soft
You're always on and your on is off, oh boy
Still learning where it's at, oh boy
Lookin' twice at the Cadillac, oh boy
Well I chewed you up a long time ago
Believe me boy, but you help me grow
I got you covered and I got you covered

If consciousness is like the ocean
I'm just a trickle in the stream
Always in motion
I strain the images to reach the truth
When I look at me, I look at youth, oh boy
Still learning where it's at, oh boy
Lookin' twice at the Cadillac, oh boy
Well I chewed you up a long time ago
Believe me boy, but you help me grow
I got you covered and I got you covered

We all seem to get along fine
Sharing our dimes and our cigarettes and wine
But it's time to ask the homeless to go home
Happenings must happen on their own
Deep in your bed the truth is known
You do not stand together
You stand alone
