lyrics

I want to get a little high tonight
I want to wake up in the morning to a new invention
I want to dream that you are by my side
When my eyes open you're there with me in a new dimension

Where only still waters run
And violence is soothed by guns

I want to be a real handy man
I'm gonna whittle you a riddle of my good intentions
Meet in the middle like an ampersand
I've got you holdin' out you Walden, going "even Thoreau says..."

Only still water runs
And violence is soothed by guns
Like ice freezes up the sun
And our island is overrun by unaccompanied young

But hold on to love and we'll highlight another way
From dawn to dusk, doesn't everybody breathe the same?
Who am I to say "you're not part of my economy"?
From dust, to dust
