Hold on tight Beginners Mind The wheel is spinning too Fast to make your move The worst must be assumed Oh how they will try To pull and to pry Away what you know now Beat and beat it out Leave a drum that makes no sound
A snuff film on a JumboTron for all the world to see
A cocktail napkin epitaph A psychobabble telegram Message written in the sand The tide rolls in
Swear youll do the opposite Of all those tangled hypocrites Who say that the experiment has failed Dont go there Youre getting nowhere Youre getting nowhere
Stay awhile my Inner Child Id like to learn your trick To know what makes you tick To nurse you when youre sick Oh how youve grown so cynical Hard lines carved in your face The sunshine is so clich? Just like love and pain
You tried your best on the Rorschach test but there is just nothing to see
Heard terabytes of perfect pitch Some universal elegance Stack the seventh and the fifth Along the grid
Swear youll be the opposite Of all those stilted hypocrites You know what made you infamous to them, dont you? You keep starting over You keep starting over You keep starting over You keep starting over
Hold on tight Beginners Mind The current is far too strong It will carry you along Till youre just like everyone Stay awhile my Inner Child Id like to learn your trick To know what makes you tick To nurse you when youre sick
