| [00:00.83] |
You're not unlucky, you're just not very smart. |
| [00:03.23] |
These things will never leave you - they're as close as you can get |
| [00:06.71] |
To a blueprint for the future - but you can call it fate. |
| [00:13.13] |
It's like these days I have to write down almost every thought I've held, |
| [00:16.56] |
So scared I am becoming of forgetting how it felt, |
| [00:20.17] |
And these fears they will unravel me one day, |
| [00:22.45] |
But still I am afraid. |
| [00:26.34] |
But I'm blessed - |
| [00:29.52] |
Just to be, more or less - |
| [00:33.20] |
Standing in the afterglow of rapture with the words the rapture left. |
| [00:39.49] |
Oh blessed - |
| [00:42.81] |
Just to be, more or less - |
| [00:46.57] |
Standing in the afterglow of rapture with the words the rapture left. |
| [00:53.57] |
|
| [00:56.01] |
Now you're blessed amongst all women, |
| [00:57.76] |
Now a man who's very good, |
| [00:59.62] |
He tells you how you feel until your life is understood, |
| [01:02.92] |
And he leads you through it arm in arm as though |
| [01:05.31] |
There was a map to guide the way. |
| [01:09.30] |
Now you write because you love him, now you write because he's kind, |
| [01:12.96] |
You write so much, you look up and you wrote yourself behind, |
| [01:16.15] |
And you're standing in a labyrinth of paper and the map has been erased. |
| [01:22.61] |
But you're blessed - |
| [01:25.40] |
Just to be, more or less - |
| [01:29.23] |
Standing in the afterglow of rapture with the words the rapture left. |
| [01:35.78] |
Are you blessed? |
| [01:39.03] |
Just to be, more or less? |
| [01:42.39] |
Now you're standing in the afterglow of rapture, but there is no rapture left. |
| [02:02.36] |
Oh come, and we will celebrate the things that make us real, |
| [02:05.88] |
The things that break us open, and the things that make us feel |
| [02:08.96] |
Like these accidental meetings up and partings of the way |
| [02:12.39] |
Are not so much our choice but in the blood of how we're made, |
| [02:15.64] |
It's like the way I have to write down almost everything I see, |
| [02:18.91] |
So that the record does obscure the thing the record used to be, |
| [02:20.91] |
And I know I'm not unlucky, |
| [02:24.23] |
I was just born this way. |
| [02:28.61] |
But I'm blessed.oh~~ |
| [02:42.44] |
blessed~~oh~~ |
| [02:55.25] |
Now a paper forest grows up in the supermarket aisles, |
| [02:58.79] |
The baby born with teeth looks at its mother and it smiles, |
| [03:02.10] |
And we all fall down |
| [03:04.43] |
Like wind blows through the paper forest. |
| [03:08.51] |
And a paper forest grows up in the supermarket aisles, |
| [03:11.89] |
The baby born with teeth looks at its mother and smiles, |
| [03:15.34] |
And we all fall down |
| [03:15.44] |
As wind blows through the paper forest.s |
| [03:21.72] |
And a paper forest grows up in the supermarket aisle |
| [03:25.32] |
Alarm clock fingers turn they're counting seconds like they're miles |
| [03:28.28] |
And you say, "wake up now, 'cause I can see no paper forest." |
