Us We Are |
| People say we are sane |
| Lock your doors and play the games |
| Out in a constant search of fame |
| If we tell them of our dreams |
| Some but bright and subtle schemes |
| Others true and honest means |
| Oh you people out there |
| With your marshmallow wills |
| Your tragic days |
| And your tranquillizer pills can’t you see? |
| People got to be believed |
| Words have got to be perceived |
| Won’t you listen to us please? |
| Maybe to you it’s another day |
| Do you want to see the sun |
| Coming up in gray? |
| Tell me what the difference is |
| Between your life and pay |
| Does the fire of your optimism |
| Flare up in the dark? |
| Can you come to me with open arms |
| And strike the finite spark of love? |
| Could be a case of velleity |
| On your part my part |
| Or anyone who thinks they see |
| Through a decade an epoch |
| Or maybe even centuries |
| What do you think could be your reality? |
| Does your breath go away |
| For anything you plainly see? |
| Talking to God or going on the nod |
| Or freaking out a fancy free |
| Take your time in the morning sun |
| It lasts for half a day |
| Speak your mind to your only son |
| If that’s what you have to say to him |
| I know I’m living in utopia |
| With a strangely cloying |
| Absence of euphoria |
| And the rapidly increasing senses of dementia |
| The anticipation in my life |
| Now lends an ear |
| And I know I gotta choose |
| Gonna win or gonna lose |
| Ah maybe that’s the fear |
| I only hope that the choice of death |
| Will be mine to make and clear |
| Take your time in the morning sun |
| It lasts for half a day |
| Speak your mind to your only son |
| If that’s what you have to say to him |
