Lyrics
Picture
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.
I don't know how I move
I tell my body to do things
I find myself someplace
Decisions and motions
All in a dream I woke up
And here I am
How did I get here
How did I make this world
I thought it out and made a plan
And the elements combined
Presto â€" here's reality
There's always a beginning and an end
Even in between those times
When motion moves me through the air
Or was it just a thought
How did I commandeer that event
We all appear and then dissolve
Like an image presentation
Smile and talk and make conclusions
Watch the world as we go by
Say hello and drop a thought
Verbalize and construct time
It takes good will and thankfulness
An annoying glancing piercing eye
And solitude that just won't quit
The moving rolling landscape lies
All about the sides and front and back
In a picture frame that's made for me
