I Don’t Have Time to be Happy - Take 1 - 10-12-2000 10-12-2000

I don’t have time to be happy                                      10-12-2000

watching the fan go round and round
listening as my heart beats ever on
will this experience ever stop
I used to think I wanted to be happy
why do I need that there’s so much to do
I need to have all this special knowledge
transverse and persevere to be that which is
and you want me to worry about being happy
If I am happy which once I was the spectrum is limited
watching the world in dull refraction eyes
knowing and forgetting yet not learning
now I lay alone, knowing whence I came
yet knowing not wherein my path and destiny lies
go and find happiness they say
I scoff I must experience everything
for if I do not I cannot claim I am God
to overthrow the throes of heaven
to be like he is his Most High
You shall know what its like to be inferiour
and with that cry hell descends
capturing and seizing the man in lie in file vile degree

Please tell me what you think
