Hectified

Things seem so hectified now, I ain't gots me no peace

I'm, well, entirely pent up now, can't gets me no release

Started jotting stupid things down

I could repeat later on

When I feel the timing's just right

I hope no one here's heard this song...this song

Cause we've retired all that came before

Well I talked about the future

Lord knows we've talked about the past

When I know the time is just right

Good God I only hope it lasts.

I got some friends who feel important

Seems they've swayed some who really are

It's just a trick of natural lighting

Make your mind see very far...so far

Cause we've retired all that came before

It's mans way to think

No one could handle what he's been through

What was alright for me

Would not work for you

Can you believe in anything now

Now everything's believable

Thought I might bring up the future

If that's at all conceivable

Cause I'm a slave to all that's insight

Hovering round the truth awhile

Like some messenger of alright

Who wears upon his face a smile...I'm smiling

Cause we've retired all that came before
