he could have had it all, but instead he chose to fall
far from grace, to this place, between his fingers but a single ace
an imperfect hand, buried in the sand, nowhere near land
and still, he won the race; and still you see his face
murder was the case, a generation lost in space
digging, crawling, anything to stall the stand
the story sung in names; every singer, every band
and still, he won the race; and still you see his face
in the beginning, he screams with new inflection
everyone must be saved, she sings in perfection
from Shakespeare a question, to b... or not to be?
the earth rattles these days of lore
newton, maxwell, oh... what a bohr
does anyone wonder what's in store?
open your mouths and speak
save in this place, i am just a leak
some basket Anansi carried up a tree
a bit of everything sprinkled over the sea
it's a just a rhyme, a generation lost in time
dreaming of quantum accelerators and flux capacitors
you shall have no gods before me, as he flipped a dime
a lucky clover, a field of dreams, this is really it
verily, verily, verily... i say to you
to see it as veritas, if i able, if i can
in the meantime gaze at the light of cloar
and wonder aloud "is le gloan a starfighter?"
on this command, on "open" says, uh... me
please, please stand
abra cadabra, ha "message"
http://almost.lamc.la at "adam's light" most...
message of kilmer, avril, hammer
what,' have you seen a ghost?
baby it's me, can't you see? what this silence does to "we"
baby I need you, to see it through, baby my face is blue
have faith in we, take the leap, share the sword, and be
stand up here, in the light of day, stand right next to me
only one way out of this place, straight up, come back
it doesn't even matter to me if you see it as a race
tears of joy, for the human race, baby smash the stack
don't cry for me, don't run away, today is here
diamonds are forever
U n I
so _mart our bart
heaven's gonna start... tod__.
four famous first wordseverything is proceeding as i have forseenyou can fire your arrows from the tower of babeli'm not the messiah, just a very naughty boyholy shit
aside from the smiles they bring to our sea
you can be sure none of them are a thing like me
and you're gonna know, you just wait and see
i can say it's horizon until i'm blue in the face.
thy kingdom come, thy will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
give us this day, our daily bread
