Imploding the Mirage

I was a timid Rockwellian boy
She was tattooed and ready to deploy
Gave me reservations and the like
For she could be the dangerous type
But I threw caution
'Cause something about that yin and the yang
Was pushing my boundaries out beyond my imagining

While you were out there chewing on fat
For probable cause, I let go
While you were out there weighing odds
I was imploding the mirage
While you were out there looking like that
I struck my name from the camouflage
I wasn't lost in the collage
I was imploding the mirage
I was imploding the mirage

I had to do it, I had no other choice
You've got to listen to the inside voice
A bullet train will get you there fast
But it won't guarantee a long last
Sometimes it takes a little bit of courage and doubt
To push your boundaries out beyond your imagining

While you were out there chewing on fat
For probable cause, I let go
While you were out there weighing odds
I was imploding the mirage
While you were out there looking like that
I struck my name from the camouflage
I wasn't lost in the collage
I was imploding the mirage
I was imploding the mirage

I was spellbound by the show
The matchless power of the glow
I was bound by golden shackles
Getting by
She tripped the breaker, blew the fuse
Doesn't need no pair of shoes
Her wings have come
And she's ready for the sky

While you were out there chewing on fat
For probable cause, I let go
While you were out there weighing odds
I was imploding the mirage
While you were out there looking like that
I walked right out of the camouflage
I wasn't locked in no collage
I was imploding the mirage
I was imploding the mirage
