Water and a Seat
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.
How far you go and what you say
will never keep the tides away
[The sea(sink/sake/sank?) or the wind or the fog(fall?)
(and savor the way/weight that we fought?)] {I really have no clue about
this part]
Cut a window
through a wall
hello
hello
hello hello?
hello? (hello hello hello)
If madness comes so much the better touche
If madness comes so much the better touche
A wicked week
and logic creed(creek)
I need water and a seat
[The sea(sink/sake/sank?) or the wind or the fog(fall?)
(and savor the way/weight that we fought?)]
A cup of snow
a snowflake kid
he is coming off the grid
Madness comes so much the better to sha--
If madness comes so much the better to sha--
Explosive path
I cannot dodge your draft
because the air is like
perfume from vikings
Hanging with
the brown rice clique
Tennyson and politics
(You gotta hesitate from the man at jack fruit barbe jacks and jill
barbeque???)
{good luck!}
([voice in the studio PA system?: Right here, this where its all gonna its
gonna
happen right here, right?)
(random screaming and whooooa-ing)
Madness comes so much the better to sha--
If madness comes so much the better to sha--
Grass grows warped
shade (shape?) of the county court
I know you want that spawn just to your liking
