lyrics

Before I get too old, I want to have myself some
experience,
saturate the senses and see where the spirit leads
at least until it proves itself dubious,
not once but a dozen at least,
by a dozen deceptions at least.
Before I close the book, I want to rid myself of some
secrets,
open to the light and the air all the shame that grew
before I even knew it could do that.
You just breathe and the trouble is there.
You just breathe and the trouble was there.
Before I leave the earth I want to have myself some
relations
with the people that you just never see,
(go without a guide and) have a couple cold revelations,
not to keep, they’re just passing through me
like the wind playing over the reeds,
like the wind playing over the reeds.
Would you be a stationary drifter
if the world were within?
You live an inch.
They put it in the book of experience.
You tear it out.
No one keeps a book on me.
But when you do,
they put it in the book of experience.
What does it take to get out of the reach?
What does it take to live out of the reach
of the markets of Mammon and memory?
And how come there’s no one around?
There’s nobody anymore?
