|
Fire fly landed on a slender weed |
|
I saw her flash and said, Yes, indeed, |
|
That little light is the only light i know |
|
Winged girl dancer sing her notes |
|
said to myself thats all she wrote |
|
Thats just one breeze ive got to let it blow |
|
Hold out walk in the burrowed pit |
|
he layed right down and said this it |
|
ive gone as far as far as i could go |
|
he died right there he died then |
|
when he did he began again |
|
He got back up and headed down the road |
|
it seems theres just one story |
|
it seems there just one song |
|
passed around eternity |
|
that aint long |
|
tortoise laughed as he passed the hare |
|
he smiled and said im getting there |
|
but cant get through there by just by standing back |
|
when ur there ur never here |
|
and here is where it seems so clear |
|
the winner of the rat race are the rats |
|
runnin races in my head |
|
whos leading who, who is being led |
|
who is burning, who's waiting to combust |
|
I realize its all just fine |
|
'cause in the end with a little time |
|
we all turn into the stars and other dust |
|
(chorus) |
|
You've got yours and you want mine |
|
take that space and stand in line |
|
defines whats yours as anybody chooses |
|
we claim to know what we're fighting for |
|
but its always just the same old war |
|
somebody wins and everybody loses |
|
the raven and the eagle met |
|
what they both said I will not forget |
|
but how they said it, I will long remember |
|
I recall the fire they lit |
|
the roaring leaping flame that lit |
|
there's just one fire now till its dying ember |
