There’s a world that we can believe in,
cleanse your lens and maybe you’ll see it.
That’s about as much as I need to know.
There’s a world that’s shining and vivid,
and it can’t be found by being shy and timid.
Fear’s about as far as that’ll ever get you.
There’s a world that we can believe in,
cleanse your lens and maybe you’ll see it.
That’s about as much as I need to know.
There’s a world that’s shining and vivid,
and it can’t be found by being shy and timid.
That’s about as far as I’ll ever get.
“Honey, it ain’t over yet.”
Everybody used to be nowhere,
and someday we’re going to go back there;
break all bonds beyond the walls of time and space.
But in these bodies which we’re subjected to,
try and find a way to get ejected
out beyond the physical and into love.
“That’s what I’m dreaming of.”
Nothing gets to you,
and it pisses me off.
If I could be like you,
what a heavenly thought!
and nothing gets to you
and it really gets to me,
if you were anything like me
that’d be a cosmic tragedy.
O! What a tragedy!
There’s so many colors we’re missing,
While we’re looking back and reminiscing,
blind to all the novelty of being here now.
I can feel the glorious sunlight
pour through the dusty windows in my mind.
That’s about as real as it’ll ever get
Nothing gets to you
and it pissed me off,
if I could be like you,
what a lovely thought.
and nothing gets to you,
and it really gets to me,
if you were anything like me
that’d be a cosmic tragedy, oh!
