in the moment I was losing my head

readin' too much and losin' my head and I was

reachin' forward, I was already there

readin' too much and losin' my head

this information caused a cut in the line

now I'm remembering God and readin' too much

it's so nice

the print is smaller than the ants in the grass

I'll have to put it away now



in the morning there are things to be read,

words to be said, and food to be fed,

but I won't be there.

I'll be clutchin' on a megaphone pointed at my head,

would you be there,

would you kindly, read this word for word

so loud and clear,

I can't remember it all,

it needs to be clear, I tell you,

if the feeling drops out of your voice,

would you kindly pick it up



this is how, I'll go out tonight

dressed in blue, by the book tonight

this is how, I'll go out tonight

but I don't need a book.



we're talkin' anchors, talkin' ships, we're talkin' seas,

we're talkin' everything you need

you should be workin' now,

not only askin' how

and the whereabouts of where you'll be.

I don't suspect you will be thinking

when the brain is dead

and the mind has taken over,

this is a skill, this is not a game,

where have you been,

are you with us?

can you hear us?

got the megaphone pointed at you
