It seems lately
You don't go out
Something's wrong but
You can't see how
It's been so long and all for nothing
It' something you can't figure out
To get along in this here world
On the weekend
Nothing's changed
Only time it ever seems to rain
When you can't get up to anything
It gets so easy to forget
To get along in this here world
It's not clear why
You just wait
You never take part
And you just ate
Some fungus to talk to Jesus
But he's some winged purple frog
You'll get along in this here world

Live Together/Die Apart

Do what you will
You won't see nothin
Suddenly arrested
By the thought
That it could really be
Just the start
It's written around
In every place here
Unfolding
It never stops
The kind of thing
To make you wonder
Where you really are
It don't mean
Live together
We don't need to
Die apart
When there is
No real weight here
Just burning stars
Remember your feet
And where they're standing
As much of you
As it is not
Was it a dream
A fantasy
Or just a
Passing thought?
Wouldn't it be so nice
Just to have it
Laid out before you
All unwound
No more secrets
To wound you
What you sought
You had found
It don't mean
Live together
We don't need to
Die apart
When there is
No real weight here
Just burning stars

Can't Sleep

Sometimes waiting
is all there really is to do
When it seems so hard
just to get through to you
I passed out
just trying to fall asleep
Makes you wonder,
Doesn't it? It does me
It takes a fool to step out
where you just can't see
Or was that bravery,
And oh so wrong of me?
All these worries
that been floating through my head
Don't mean nothing,
And won't matter when I'm dead

There's a reason
I still rhyme
Nothing else quite
Fits the time
But to tell you the truth
Sometimes I still get blue
It's the same
For anyone else
To pass this way
Living on soup
Spadina Avenue
It worked for me
And it worked for you
Those days are gone
We'll get along
It's the same
For anyone else
To pass this way
I still hear
The things we said
Man those days
Got to our heads
I love you still
And I hope you're well
It's the same
For anyone else
To pass this way
