VERSE 1:
I see life and by it I am inspired
the highs and the lows are my reasons to stay wired
boredom is stimulation - Motive is motivation
an open mind is my conduit for creation
Amaze me and no doubt I will be grateful
a stubborn mind turns a blind eye and chooses to be hateful
you know it when you see it
greatness: take it or leave it
don't let another step in and say that you can't achieve it
Women are on my mind
tricky right one to find
because by definition she must be one-of-a-kind
Inner glass magnifier
smoke just to get you higher
when in reality these drugs you do not require
Blast off but come back home for dinner
everybody must begin life as a beginner
what's real is obvious
what's fake is obvious
so when they hide among each other, shit gets obnoxious
CHORUS:
In a line left behind caterpillar knows the only way
is to fade from day
face down no one around catch the sound of endless night
but his mind is bright
Broken down, light and sound, can a pillar really show the way
to a brighter day
With a smile and a dream we carry on to the unseen
and emerge one day
or so they say
VERSE 2:
I get down to feel electric motion
catch the harmonies that are breathin' beneath the ocean
when I fly off the track
know that I'm comin' back
And by all that is good, know that I am on the attack
Against oppression, suppression of creativity
as if we're given the only chance to live by authorities
authoritize this - every breath you take it a reason to move and shake
and ain't nobody gotta teach you that now
I see life and by it I feel summoned
the highs and the lows are my reasons to keep gunnin'
feelin' bold and alive and I'm not just livin' but thrivin'
one-million-one to your million and still ridin'
Blast off but come back home for dinner
everybody must begin life as a beginner
what's real is obvious
what's fake is obvious
we're on a whole other level so get onto us
CHORUS:
In a line left behind caterpillar knows the only way
is to fade from day
face down no one around catch the sound of endless night
but his mind is bright
Broken down, light and sound, can a pillar really show the way
to a brighter day
With a smile and a dream we carry on to the unseen
and emerge one day
or so they say
