So it begins
Find me a field of wheat and shame
Share the breeze that bends the shaft
And the blame that nurtures guilt
In the composted heart
At the centre of the universe
You are that centre
You always knew that EGO would live
Strong, brave and stewing in its own juices
Here to create all that is, was, and will be
The infinite cosmos nothing more than a
Psychedelic treat to blow your mind
If you stop thinking
It will all end
It will all end.
It will all end!
In my dreams I fly
The strain is heavy
In my shoulders and elbows
Exertion carries me to the rooftops
Where tiles and skys meet
Sneakers and eyes
I can't beleive my luck
I normally forget how to fly
Especially since I shouldn't be able to
Since no one else can
Not even you
The feeling of remembering
Is like sex, food and god
It's kindred to what death
After this life must be
Awakening into sleep
Sawing logs
...and in my dreams, I fly
Just you and me man
Catch phrases are fake man
They say what they want to hear
Policies are traps
To make us pay for our fears
You want to pen one or push one?
Do what you want man, no one uses the strap any more
To keep us in line
They just mortgage our souls
For the one thing they can't have
Not our bodies or brains
Not our cars boats or trains but our time * man
For every second we waste
And dream that we chase
Heaven frees us from time * man
Hell frees us from space
Bring on that long silent night
Rest at peace, no more fighting
To buy, have and be
There's just you...
And the darkness...
And me.
Like to be or not to be
Whatever
Spaceships made of garbage
Bought and paid for by
Slaves at the apple factory
Flying around a huge lump of rock
In the middle of nowhere
Whatever
That's progress for you
Flying cars never materialized
From the deep dark recesses
Of 1950s b movies
To take us to the palaces of scantily clad virgins with Ray guns
Whatever
In the end
We'll all be buried or burned
Long forgotten save for the
Song we wrote on that hill one day
Drunk on wine and love
Fresh air and long hair
Making the best of a moment
'cause that's all we've got
Whatever
