Late again. Alarm ringin' in my head. I pull the curtain. Try to get me outta' bed. And I've been thinkin'. I'm not feelin' quite like myself anymore... no....
Passing through Shanghai. Looking down. On my way to Bombay. Looking down. . I was in search for something. Looking down. A little out of the ordinary.
quoting creeds of correctness. cast in cannons of care. convoluted compassion. commiserating despair. . pin a ribbon on my heart. for the ones who've gone before.
I can't say just how it began. Drivin' across the western sand. Something I could not understand. Overcome by this Lentenland. . Drive into a Red Sun.
Different faces, different names. Peculiar people just the same. We are brothers in our hearts. . Though we've traveled far away. Another galaxy to play.
Transmission:. . Houston, we've got a problem here!.... . Stuck up here in outer space with a bubble around my face. Would have stayed if I only knew before too long my skin turns blue....
Please, come on in. Welcome to my neighborhood of psychic friends. Hey, here we go. I will tell you things that you already know. . Goin' to Hawaii, so says Mr. Spivey.
OK they all say you're a winner now. Save face, win with grace. But you don't know how. . So big your heads gonna crack. Someday your arms gonna snap.
Unsettled, angst driven, disaffected generation. Hastened by the joy of laughter. Fall away from ever after. . Something's happening there. Something's happening there.
Down from the mountains word would come. We would soon move to Oregon.. Pulled from the ground of yesterday. Sell everything and move away.. . But it wasn't what we thought.
As I boy I would run to my school,. Cutting through fields of clover.. Then they were gone: clean, good, and nice.. Covered by roads where cars now drive..
Zero was a hotshot a dozen years ago. So opinionated he'd give 'em all a show. Heart attached to his sleeve by silverplated cords. Million dollar moonbeams and billion dollar words.
We are Pilgrims in a strange land. We are so far from our homeland. With each passing day it seems so clear. This world will never want us here. We're not welcome in this world of wrong.
Given all that I have, in the palm of my hand. Possessions cannot fill the need I see before me, it's up to me. I saw a little boy with blisters on his feet.
My mind is like a video of memories. But I don't know if I'm crazy. In the classroom I would pray. I wouldn't have to read that day, I was lazy. . People thought but didn't say.
Living live with your eyes closed. Expect to fall and it's gonna hurt. With my pain I've opened my eyes. My tough luck has made me realize that.... . [chorus].
If in the morning you look up. Fake a smile and you sigh. Don't fear the future. In years to come. You'll learn, you'll learn. . I used to sit and watch the pouring rain.
Tried but I just can't. Keep up with the Media Slant.. I watch the spastic dance. They're doin' the Media Slant.. . They must be members of some dark fraternal club..
Everyone makes choices. But I can't say which is right. And everyone makes promises. And only meant to lie. And I don't know what to do. And I don't know just what to say anymore.
Man has got to work to eat, and this is what I do 5 days a week. I'm at this place from 9 to 5, I get a salary for taking life. . They send 'em in, I send 'em out.
