Some plans were made and rice was thrown
|
A house was built, a baby born
|
How time can move both fast and slow
|
Amazes me
|
And so I raise my glass to symmetry
|
To the second hand and its accuracy
|
To the actual size of everything
|
The desert is the sand
|
You can't hold it in your hand
|
It won't bow to your demands
|
There's no difference you can make
|
There's no difference you can make
|
And if it seems like an accident
|
A collage of senselessness
|
You weren't looking hard enough
|
I wasn't looking hard enough at it
|
|
An argument for consciousness
|
The instinct of the blind insect
|
Who makes love to the flower bed
|
And dies in the first freeze
|
Oh I want to learn such simple things
|
No politics, no history
|
Till what I want and what I need
|
Can finally be the same
|
|
I just got myself to blame
|
Leave everything up to fate
|
When there's choices I could make
|
When there's choices I could make
|
And now my heart needs a polygraph
|
Always so eager to pack my bags
|
When I really wanna stay
|
When I really wanna stay
|
|
When I wanna stay [4x]
|
|
The arc of time, the stench of sex
|
The innocence you can't protect
|
Each quarter note, each marble step
|
Walk up and down that lonely treble clef
|
Each wanting the next one
|
Each wanting the next one to arrive
|
Each wanting the next one
|
Each wanting the next one to arrive
|
|
An argument for consciousness
|
The instinct of the blind insect
|
Who never thinks
|
Not to accept its fate, that's faith
|
There is happiness in death
|
You get to the next one
|
You get to the next one down the line
|
You get to the next one
|
You get to the next one down the line
|
|
The levity of longing that
|
Distills each dream inside my head
|
By morning watered down forget
|
On silver stars I wish and wish and wish
|
|
From one to the next one
|
From one to the next right down the line
|
From one to the next one
|
From one to the next right down the line
|
|
You get to the next one
|
You get to the next one down the line
|
You get to the next one
|
You get to the next one down the line
|
