With your back to the wall
No distinction at all
From the beat poet's call

While the barrier's down
Out of sight, not a sound
You're just tripping the light

As the years will unfold
Living life, feeling cold
Keep your ear to the ground

If your guard's falling down
And your God's not in town
You're just tripping the light

Falling, trip into the light
Falling, trip into the light

With your back to the wall
Either way, double talk
It's your time, say your grace

Ending now, it's all gone
No one's right, no one's wrong
You're just tripping the light
