The lovers make the babies make the people make the rulers, so
The future of all humans is infected with what they know.
The mercy of the squeamish drowns the screaming of the skilled
Until the meaning of perception by its own device is killed.
The foolish watch in mirrors yet they “know” what’s left and right,
The genius ever-changing view fills even him with fright,
The man trapped in the middle feels his being torn in two,
While the prophets say a dead man is the one who knows the truth.
You’ll find me in the meadow dancing naked through the flowers
As the sun shines and the wind blows ‘neath the warmth of summer showers.
If you want me I will be there ever waiting for your call.
But the phone rings and I wake up and it wasn’t real at all.
The ego makes the answers makes the reasons make the questions so
The whole of human knowledge is a fanciful placebo.
The mantle worn by experts changes nothing but their look
And yet the pomp and ceremony for cognition is mistook.
The foolish love the pageantry and dwell upon the sight,
The genius wants to run away bids everyone goodnight,
The man trapped in the middle panics looking for a door,
As the prophets say a dead man is the one who knows the score.
You’ll find me on a sailboat chasing mermaids in the twilight
As the dolphins and the sperm whales do a dance that’s very child-like.
If you want me I will be there o’er the rail to steal a kiss.
The alarm rings and I wake up and it hurts to take a piss.
The users make the market makes the product makes the users so
The heads of the exploiters are adorned with golden halos.
The need from the addiction drives the heart to great excess
Until a fat and happy demon is the measure of success.
The foolish wish their demons were all fat and happy, too,
The genius wipes the demon's mark from everything he’ll do,
The man trapped in the middle feels a pressure in his brain,
As the prophets say a dead man is the one who cures the pain.
You’ll find me in my bedroom hiding frightened ‘neath the covers
Praying wildly for existence of imaginary lovers.
If you want me I will be there with a love that’s strong and true.
But the world will kill my karma and I don’t know what to do.
