lyrics
I remember a time when I saw a man
Carefully writing something on his hand
I sat down beside him and I strained for a look
It read “If you remember you must write a book.”
I looked at his eyes, all I saw was straight black
I knew that it would be a while before he’d come back
I gathered my things, I had all my fun
I left the man to think about the book he’d write when he was done
Oh, the way it goes
Starts out slow and then overflows
The walls of the Mind, try to fix mankind
Trying to see properly all the things that everyone sees wrong.
It’s a beautiful thing, the feeling you get
Being straightforward without an ounce of regret
The Mind’s pacing faster than it ever will be
No need to stop it now because it’s finally free
Take hold of the thoughts more profound than the rest
Recalling all those in the end is the only real test
Be careful where you stray, don’t ruin all the fun
Or a lot will change about the book you’ll write when you are done
Oh, the way it goes
Starts out slow and then overflows
The walls of the Mind, try to fix mankind
Trying to see properly all the things that everyone sees wrong.
Sometimes it takes a turn all for the worse
You start to lose control and lose all your words
The walls close in and it seems you are stuck
Trying to speak all you utter is fuck
All alone you start to explore
Until it’s over you’ll have to endure.
