lament of the reed
20-05-02, 11:51 PM
Life's an ocean,
with too much commotion,
Not enough emotion,
To satisfy me.
Hello it's me, it's me
Calling out I can see you
Hello it's me, crying out, crying out
Are you there?
Hello it's me, it's me
I want to touch you
It's me throwing stones from the stars
On your mixed up world
Been circling round for 20 years
And in that time I've seen all the fires and all the liars
I've been calling home for 20 years
Seen it all I'm already there
Save your books and your pills
I don't need them I'm there
You can do anything you want to
All you've got to do is try
I thought my best days had left me
My best years had left me behind
Then I felt them come back (to me)
And all the wild eyes
All the wild eyes know what I mean
If trees cut stars and eyes to heaven
I'll bend them back and bend them again
If my skin looks tired and old from living
I'll turn right back and live it again
You better pray when the music stops
And you're left alone in your mind
'Cause I'll be hearing music till the day I die
Then I heard it turn off
I swear I heard the screams
And all the wild eyes
All the wild eyes know what I mean
They're scared they've lost their dream
They press down on me
You know I thought I was there
with too much commotion,
Not enough emotion,
To satisfy me.
