Livin' On - Original

If you see me rockin'
It’s that the times are right
I’m bringing in my stocking
If the score is tight
I may drop in and plant smoke stacks
Good livin', it leaves no tracks
What’s ugly, it’s wrong
So I’m just livin' on
I hear you talking
You’re only poppin' spit
Automatic walking
Through a
Your dingy, it just circles insane
You take the Lord’s name in vain
Dead-end kings have come
Livin’s off, not livin' on
Livin' on past the ice age
And walrus harpoons
Livin' on past the space age
And the yellow balloons
In the age of the exit
Are the movin' cartoons
Bringing you right along
Helping you livin' on
If you miss my special
And help me out alone
Be sure to keep me level
I’m talking on my own
So don’t be taken by what I say
If it’s too rigid to go away
But you’re never really gone
You’re only livin' on
If you miss my watching
Sometimes I’m catchin' all I can
In the steady watching
Of the prophet’s plan, oh
And the good life of live they foretell
Will keep us our souls very well
In the wisdom of right ever long
And the spirit of us livin' on
