Lyrics
Just A Bit
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.
Faith may not be such a bad thing
Hope can still feel pretty good
I'm as mad as any hatter
I feel safer touching wood
I like totem poles and icons
(Icon tact is de rigeur)
So ring them bells and pump that organ
Chants for him and hymns for her
'Bracadabra, hocus locus
Magic mush, no room for doubt
As wailing walls induce psychosis
(Beat your brain cells inside out)
Transcendental art's religion
Thinking you'll improve your mind
When all it does
(If you're in luck)
Is camouflage the daily grind
Nature's harmony's a discord
If you listen with both ears
Poor Gaia's up to here in white noise
She cannot assuage your fears
Superstition's like religion
Bonsai version faintly sad
And I know that
(I must admit it)
Touching wood is a bit mad
