Your mind's a machine It's deadly and dull It's never been still and its will Has never been free
Lightly tapping A high-pitched drum
As your spine starts to shine You shiver at your soul A fist so clear and climbing Punches a hole In the sky So you can see For yourself If you don't believe me
There's so much less To this than you think
It's almost gone The night is dissolving In a cup God lifts To toast the lightning
Lightly tapping It's high-pitched and it hums
Your spine starts to shine And you shiver at your soul A fist so clear and climbing Punches a hole In the sky So you can see For yourself If you don't believe me
His goal in life was to be an echo Riding alone, town after town, toll after toll A fixed bayonet through the great southwest to forget her
She appears in his dreams But in his car and in his arms A dream can mean anything A cheap sunset on a television set can upset her But he never could
Remember to remember me Standing still in your past Floating fast like a hummingbird
His goal in life was to be an echo The type of sound that floats around and then back down Like a feather But in the deep chrome canyons of the loudest Manhattans No one could hear him Or anything
So he slept on a mountain In a sleeping bag underneath the stars He would lie awake and count them And the gray fountain spray of the great Milky Way Would never let him Die alone
Remember to remember me Standing still in your past Floating fast like a hummingbird
Remember to remember me Standing still in your past Floating fast like a hummingbird
Fill up your mind with all it can know Don't forget that your body will let it all go Fill up your mind with all it can know What would we be without wishful thinking
Chambers of chains With red plastic mouths The inside of outside No one has found How to unring the bell It's just as well
The turntable sizzles Casting the spells The pressure devices Hell in a nutshell Is any song worth singing If it doesn't help
Fill up your mind with all it can know Don't forget that your body can let it all go Fill up your mind with all it can know 'Cause what would love be without wishful thinking
Open your arms as far as they will go We take off your dress An embarrassing poem Was written when I was alone In love with you
I shook down those lines To shine up the streets I got up off my hands and knees To thank my lucky stars that you're not me
What would we be without wishful thinking What would we be without wishful thinking What would we be without wishful thinking
Maybe the sun will shine today The clouds will blow away Maybe I won’t feel so afraid I will try to understand Either way
Maybe you still love me Maybe you don’t Either you will or you won’t Maybe you just need some time alone I will try to understand Everything has its plan Either way I’m gonna stay Right for you
Maybe the sun will shine today The clouds will roll away Maybe I won’t be so afraid I will understand everything has its plan Either way
If you feel like singing a song And you want other people to sing along Just sing what you feel Don’t let anyone say it’s wrong
And if you’re trying to paint a picture But you’re not sure which colors belong Just paint what you see Don’t let anyone say it’s wrong
And if you’re strung out like a kite Or stung awake in the night It’s alright to be frightened
When there’s a light (what light) There’s a light (one light) There’s a light (white light) Inside of you
If you think you might need somebody To pick you up when you drag Don’t loose sight of yourself Don’t let anyone change your bag
And if the whole world’s singing your songs And all of your paintings have been hung Just remember what was yours is everyone’s from now on
And that’s not wrong or right But you can struggle with it all you like You'll only get uptight
Because there’s a light (what light) There’s a light (one light) There’s a light (white light) There’s a light (what light) There’s a light (one light) There’s a light (white light) There’s a light (what light) There’s a light (one light) There’s a light (white light) There’s a light (what light) There’s a light (one light) There’s a light (white light) Inside of you
