X Marks the Spot Lyrics

Wizards of words

Came to help me

On that cloudy afternoon

That living room was

A crime scene

Patti was holding my hand

Mr. Turner was sitting smoking

On the lounge chair

I felt empowered by their presence

Ideas came swiftly

Handling my pen like a sword

Committing everything to paper and memory

Swimming against the stream

Daylight does not burn my eyes

X marks the spot

A good place to start

Count me in one

Two

Three

I am flowing

The walls come down

And I can go

Anywhere I want

Heroes guide me to the place

Where the treasure chest awaits

Swimming against the stream

Daylight does not burn my eyes

X marks the spot

A good place to start

Count me in one

Two

Three

These beautiful shoulders

That I'm standing on

Hold the power

Of a thousand suns

Can I reach you

Anytime I want

It's easier to find the mark

With a well-lighted mind

Mind

Mind
