Arrest Me

from It Took the Village by Joe Atman

/

lyrics

Day after day, I participate and ingratiate myself to all that connects me
Time after time, though I obfuscate I articulate myself and they all suspect me
Night after night I illuminate and personicate myself in all that expects me
And it’s time to take my time, you’ve gotta read between these lines, but you can’t convict me

Day after day after day after day, they always arrest me, they always arrest me
Day after day after day after day, they always arrest me, they always arrest me

Day after day when I meditate and I contemplate myself and seem to forget me
Time after time I inoculate and emancipate myself from all that infects me
Night after night, I pontificate and perseverate myself but they don’t detect me

And it’s time to take my time; you’ve gotta read between my lines
You don’t have to make my choice – but you can’t come and say it, boy; I can’t come and say it, boy

CHORUS

Day after day as I sit and wait and I orchestrate myself in the music around me
Time after time when I get it straight I communicate myself and it all accepts me


CHORUS (X2)
