You Don't Have to Be a Scientist to Do Experiments on Your Own Heart |
You don’t have to be a scientist |
To do experiments |
You don’t have to be a scientist |
To do experiments |
You don’t have to be a scientist |
To do experiments |
On your own heart |
I had no place to put myself |
But I had lots of time |
I had no place to put myself |
But I had lots of time |
I had no place to put myself |
But I had lots of time |
So I threw out some past |
And made room for more future |
Now I’m standing in the seam |
Between my memories and dreams |
Balanced on the seam |
Between my memories and dreams |
Floating down the stream |
Between my memories and dreams |
And I see a better person |
Waiting his turn to be me |
And you don’t have to be a scientist |
To do experiments |
You don’t have to be a scientist |
To do experiments |
You don’t have to be a scientist |
To do experiments |
On your own heart |
Now I’m running down the runway |
In between gigantic numbers |
I’m running down the runway |
In between gigantic numbers |
I’m running down the runway |
In between gigantic numbers |
With my knapsack |
And a zero for a halo |
And my halo’s got a hole in it So it don’t keep me dry |
My halo’s got a hole in it So it don’t keep me dry |
My halo’s got a hole in it So it don’t keep me dry |
But it’s ok 'cause |
My brain is my heart’s umbrella |
You don’t have to be a scientist |
To do experiments |
You don’t have to be a scientist |
To do experiments |
You don’t have to be a scientist |
To do experiments |
On your own heart |
I had a girl I had to leave |
But I saw her face upon my sleeve |
I had a girl I had to leave |
But I saw her face upon my sleeve |
I had a girl I had to leave |
But I saw her face upon my sleeve |
It kept talking |
So I put it in the laundry |
And as it spun and spun |
It tried to ask me what I’d done |
And as it spun and spun |
It tried to ask me what I’d done |
And as it spun and spun |
It tried to ask me what I’d done |
But I was gone |
On down the road out to the wind |
'Cause you think patience is a virtue |
And what you don’t know can’t hurt you |
And that events can change and shape us More than we can change ourselves |
And that conscious attempt at growth is stupid |
And I should just relax and be myself |
And you even think it’s arrogant to try |
But you don’t have to be a scientist |
To do experiments |
You don’t have to be a scientist |
To do experiments |
You don’t have to be a scientist |
To do experiments |
On your own heart |
