Oysters and Pearls |
| Lindbergh left Long Island in 1927 |
| He thumbed his nose at gravity |
| And climbed into the heavens |
| When he returned to earth that night |
| Everything had changed |
| For the pilot and the planet |
| Everything was rearranged |
| We’re a pretty mixed up bunch |
| Of crazy human beings |
| It’s written on our rocketships |
| And in early cave wall scenes |
| How does it happen? |
| How do we know? |
| Who sits and watches? |
| Who does the show? |
| Some people love to lead |
| Some refuse to dance |
| Some people play it safely |
| Others take a chance |
| Still, it’s all a mystery |
| This place we call the world |
| Where most live as oysters |
| While some become pearls |
| Now Elvis was the only man |
| From North East Mississippi |
| Who could shake his hips |
| And still be loved by |
| Rednecks, cops and hippies |
| It’s something more than DNA |
| That tells us who we are |
| Its method and magic |
| We are of the stars |
| Some never fade away |
| Some crash and burn |
| Some make the world go round |
| Others watch it turn |
| Still, it’s all a mystery |
| This place we call the world |
| Most are fine as oysters |
| While some become pearls |
