lyrics

There's silence screaming in my ears
Meanwhile, dreaming all the time
Here and now, here, but how? I wonder
The consciousness of the universe is in me

Think, then think
Am I thinking how I'm meant to think?
In the middle, caught
And am I meant to think about this thought?
OK, I'll stop
I'll simply let thinking drop
There, it's done
Oh shit, that was another one

I wake up fifty times a day
Where am I? How did I get here, pray?
In well worn way, I drift away from living
Though the consciousness of the universe is in me

This is the dreaming time
This is the endless wine
And my heart it knows never joy
Always waiting for the next cheap toy

Songbirds in the early morning light
Long words filing mind at night
In some strange way, I'll learn to stay, in the present
The consciousness of the universe is in me
