Lyrics
The Impulse
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you'd just come down
From your space tower jail
I could have shown you
Those colors aren't so pale
The way it glows
The way it shines
The way it plays on
The dimensions in your mind
But it seems like nothing's gonna satisfy
Your shapeless urges
You tryin'
Tryin'
Tryin'
Tryin'
Tryin'
You say you're unhappy
That you don't like your hair
I could have shown you
There are heavens everywhere
We go through tunnels
And we go up high
But you just got frustrated
With those electric power glides
And it seems like nothing's gonna satisfy
Your shapeless urges
You tryin'
Tryin'
Tryin'
Tryin'
Tryin'
