Lyrics
Excellent Things
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.
Mirrors reflect only what we expect
Just what we wanna see
Flowers looking fresh
Garden grey on a mesh
??? warm ??? free
I filled up a jar with colourful capsules
Jewelry and rings
Notice how we constantly thrive on excellent things
??? created a sway
Toward material needs
Television hums
Busy hand finding some
Two or three knuckles bleed
Boats and trains and commercial flight airplanes
That whistle and sing
See how we persistently thrive on excellent things
