The world of illusion is at my door
My children will go, As soon as they grow.;
Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
I looked at my watch;
I looked at my wrist;
I punched myself in the face with my fist
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
All the people we used to know;
Are an illusion to me now
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
Your mind is your temple, keep it beautiful and free,;
Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,;
See like me or be like me.
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
When you think that you lost everything;
You find out you can always lose a little more
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
I can't provide for you no easy answers,;
Who are you that I should have to lie?
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,;
Overturn these tables.;
This place don't make sense to me no more.
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances;
My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
People ask about you;
I didn't tell them everything I knew
The pump don't work;
'Cause the vandals took the handles
This time tomorrow I'll know you better;
When my memory is not so short.
Yesterday everything was going too fast;
Today, it's moving too slow
Oh my name it is nothin';
My age it means less
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
You speak to me;
In sign language;
As I'm eating a sandwich
Praise be to Nero's Neptune;
The Titanic sails at dawn;
And everybody's shouting;
Which Side Are You On?
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,;
Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
