Garden of Simple |
Some crazy fucker carved a sculpture out of butter |
And propped it up in the middle of the bonanza breakfast bar |
And i am stuffing toast and sausage into my pockets |
Under a sign that says grand opening |
While my dog is waiting in the car |
I wake up, i check out |
I fill the tank and wash the windshield clean |
Then i’m back out on the highway |
And BANG that’s when i remember my dream: |
We were standing in a garden |
And i had a machine that made silence |
It just sucked up the whole opinionated din |
And there were no people on the payroll |
And there were no monkeys on our backs |
And i said, show me what you look like |
Without skin |
Science chases money |
And money chases its tail |
And the best minds of my generation |
Can’t make bail |
But the bacteria are coming to take us down |
That’s my prediction |
It’s the answer to this culture |
Of the quick fix prescription |
But in the garden of simple |
Where all of us are nameless |
You were never anything but beautiful to me |
And, you know, they never really owned you |
You just carried them around |
And then one day you put 'em down |
And found your hands were free |
So now it’s early in the morning |
At the longitude of memphis |
And the sun is setting sweetly on hong kong |
And the big plan is just to keep spinning |
Cuz the big bang is only just beginning |
And sometimes it’s all that we can do just to hang on |
And what i meant to say is xxoo which means i’m thinking of ya |
Which means i’ve been thinking of you |
All along |
