No I'll not renounce my views
do what others do
I'd rather drink the hemlock than be like you
to my soul untrue
it never gets easier
so quit tryin' pleasing her
everything is a choice
so let me hear your voice
Born in October night
feeling was out of sight
skin I'm in now and then
moves like a meteorite
noise in our culture
is built in our nature
another era will decode
as we head toward rapture
Suppose we're all gifted
suppose that the mist is
a metaphor for change
suppose the veil will be lifted
sacrament that I hold
close and I feel noble
solar marigolds light the souls
return from that other world
Sometimes when I'm awake
I can't tell if I'm still dreaming
there's so much here at stake
when every moment is just fleeting
sometimes when I'm awake
I can't tell if I'm still dreaming
It never gets easier
so quit tryin' pleasing her
everything is a choice
so let me hear your voice
Rip up the evening post
kill parasitic hosts
we can shoulder all the karma
that came with Los Alamos
return the sky bottle blue
return that forgotten hue
a looking glass world
seeing into and through you
Soul and body are my twins
the latter will give in
when the former sees the ocean
as not too cold to get in
to alien life forms
these waters are real warm
but beware we will change the weather
and create a snowstorm
Sometimes when I'm awake
I can't tell if I'm still dreaming
there's so much here at stake
when every moment is just fleeting
sometimes when I'm awake
I can't tell if I'm still dreaming
No I'll not renounce my views
do what others do
I'd rather drink the hemlock than be like you
to my soul untrue
it never gets easier
so quit tryin' pleasing her
everything is a choice
so let me hear your voice
