Test Song

( listen)

Put one foot in the water
To see if it’s cold or hot
Take one sip from the bottle
Is this whisky poison or not
Buy 15 minutes on the meter
I may not be staying too long
Put 50 cents on every horse
Who knows who might be coming on strong

This is a test song
Is this thing turned on?
this is a test run
see if this engine still hums

Take one bite from the apple
It might be forbidden fruit
Keep banging on this calculator
‘cause what I see does not compute
Follow me troubles to the ball room
dance myself around my mind
Steal one beat from every bar
and be shuffling in three quarter time

This is a test song
Is this thing turned on?
This is a test run
Does this engine still hum?
This is a test song
Is this thing turned on?
This is a test run
See if this engine still hums

And I can’t help thinking about
what lies beyond the blue
Is the best still to come?
Am I already done?
if this is test then I guess
I hope I might pass
Every day might be your last
Every day might be your last

This is a test song
Is this thing turned on?
This is a test run
Does this engine still hum
This is a test song
See if the wheels still turn
This is a test run
See if this fire in my soul still burns
