So Mister Einstein, what'd you do then?
|
'Cause there's a hole in your resume after 1910
|
You were a brilliant man when you were 23
|
But then you sat in your pajamas and you watched TV
|
|
In the lost years when your life stalls out
|
You start sinking in the weight of doubt
|
Lost your vision, got no faith
|
And stoped moving in the human race
|
Stuck in the suck-muck, sick with fear
|
Still sinking in the lost years
|
|
This aint' no Kodak moment
|
These times are best forgotten
|
This is the part you'll be ashamed of
|
This is the prozac tunnel
|
This is the Rip Van Winkle
|
This is the embryo you came from
|
|
So Mister Einstein, Mister Prodigy
|
You know the pride that you stand on works like a water ski
|
Yeah, the motion of the ocean made you stand up straight
|
But now your tow boat's stalled and you're only shark bait
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Look, your soul said something's missing
|
But you would never listen
|
It gave you signals but you missed 'em
|
So this is the desperate measure
|
This is the hidden treasure
|
This is like a strike against the system
|
|
See it's your last chance but you might find out
|
In the ocean of the dark and doubt
|
Past the panic, through the tears
|
The sharp shackle of the phantom fears
|
Gives up its death grip and disappears
|
Still sinking in the lost years
|
