Lyrics:
Seems like it, right? Don't you think? You going in that side? You wanna drive? No, you can drive It's kind of cold in here Go left here, then up here, now take a right We'll go up to... Take a right here, can you make a right here? Yeah And then maybe left, 27... Oh, he told you where it was? No, he didn't You're just guessing. ESP? Psychic... ...all my stuff is still there Whoa, Jesus, Jesus... That was weird... got scared so I pumped the brakes, 'cause I thought we could be sliding 'cause I'm used to driving in the snow Shh, wait a minute, I like this song...
The picture's far too big to look at, kid Your eyes won't open wide enough And you're constantly surrounded By the swirling stream of what is and what was Well, we all made our predictions, but The truth still isn't out But if you wanna see the future Go and stare into a cloud
And keep trying to find your way out Of that maze of memories It all sorta looks familiar Until you get up close, and then it's different clearly But each time you turn a corner, you're You're right back where you were And your only hope is that forgetting might Make a door appear
Well is it your fear of being buried That makes you so afraid to speak? An avalanche of opinions Like the one that fell that I'm now underneath It was my voice that moved the first rock And I would do it all again So I mean, it's cool if you keep quiet, but I like singing
So I'll be holding my note And stomping and strumming and feeling so very lucky And there is nothing I know Except this lifetime's one moment and wishing will just leave you empty
So you can try and live in darkness But you will never shake the light No, it will greet you every morning And it will make you more aware with its absence at night When you're wrapped up in your blankets, baby That comfortable cocoon But I've seen the day of your awakening, boy And it's coming soon
So go ahead and loose yourself in liquor And you can praise the clouded mind But it isn't what you're thinking, no It's the course of history, your position in line You're just a piece of the puzzle, so I think you'd better find your place And don't go blaming your knowledge On some fruit you ate
'Cause there's been a great deal of discussion, yes About the properties of man Animal or angel You were carved from bone, but your heart is just sand And the wind is gonna scatter it And cover everything with love So if it makes you happy, then keep kneeling, mama But I'm standing up
Because this veil, it has been lifted, yes My eyes are wet with clarity I've been a witness to such wonders Oh, I have searched for them all across this country But I think I'll be returning now To the town where I was born And I understand you must keep moving, friend But I'm headed home
Yeah, I'm gonna follow the road And let the scenery sweeping by easily enter my body And I will send you all this message in code Underground over mountains through forests and deserts and cities
All across electric wire, it's a baited line Yeah, the hook's in deep, boys, there's no more time So you can struggle in the water, be too stubborn to die Or you can just let go and be lifted to the sky
