Colossal Youth

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.

If you think the world is

a machine with one cog

And that cog is you,

or the things that you do

Then you are not in this world

The world is not you

If you think the world

is a balloon in your head

When it goes bang only

you will be dead

'Cos you are not in this world

The world is not you

If you think the world lies

at the top of your legs

And you only live when you are in bed

Then you are not in this world

The world is your head

If you think the world is

a clutter of existence

Falling through the air

with minimal resistance

You could be right, how would I know?

Colossal youth is showing the way to go
