Lyrics

The Frontier Index

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.

Of all the people I knew

I always looked up to you

and after millions of years of crime

the sun still shines and shines

Look a horse (named Divorce) gallops thru the desert light

I make such good time through sub-space

when I dream all day and ride all night

A robot walks into a bar

orders a drink

lays down a bill

The bartender says, hey we don't serve robots

and the robot says, oh but someday you will

Prisons a good time for some

many people get caught with a gun

This trucker says it's good to be free

says he knows lots of folks who agree

Bumperstickers talk to him

say "let the stars get in your eyes"

Time, cum, sand, and surf

these are the building blocks of life

Boy wants a car from his Dad

Dad says, first you gotta cut that hair

Boy says, hey Dad Jesus had long hair

and Dad says

that's right son but Jesus walked everywhere

When I was younger I was a cobra

in every case I wanted to be cool

Now that I'm older and sub-space is colder

I just want to say something true
