lyrics

and now that the king is dead
a bullet in the head
he graced the cover of the times

we are just peasants in the street
never make ends meet
picking up the bread crumbs
like a dove

hey Henry Thoreau
it’s really not that simple

I’m barely hangin on
the common thread is gone
I fell asleep in life

and now a new day rages on
it’s just life on the farm
it’s just the price you pay

new lists of rules
to which you must conform
even though everything
could put you in the grave

hey Vincent Van Gogh
no stars in the dark night of the soul

they tell me I have a spirit of old
but I’ve got no place to go
and my heart's on fire

this wide eyed wonder
the ship has sailed
all of the dealers
have gone for help
don’t you know
only you can help yourself
first you must have a vision
that you’re blind

and now that
god did not save the queen
you’re questioning
even if there is a god

they built the world
like the pyramids
orchestrated without
a single hole in the plot

hey Joan of Arc
nineteen is far too young
to be a martyr

and I know I’m damaged goods
I never really ever left the woods
I believed the liar

with wide eyed wonder
what will you sacrifice
you’ll pay the fee
to feed your vice
you’re already going
the speed of light
you’re already speaking
with your mind

and now that
they took down the wall
we’ll begin again
to pick up the pieces
that were broken

every season has nine lives
you’ll never forget
where your thoughts have been

hey Carl Jung
I am what I choose to become

I drank all through the night
sang loudly “auld lang syne”
traveled through dimensions
space and time
and stopped to smell the roses
on my grave
nothing you can save
it’s all set to expire
no way to escape
the heart on fire
