lyrics

I'm speechless
Walking by these
priceless fine creatures
Don't have time to stop the mind readers
We could be better off I would say

Mind reader
I have heard that
you’re a fine teacher
Make me happy oh blind preacher
Whatever the cost we will pay

don’t let them take whatever they like
from your mind
People do it all the time
where do we turn when we turn out the lights
people are just people they just want to get by

Strange weakness
All these lines
cast sustained bleakness
Connect the dots and it's the same thesis
Spun around a new way

Day dreamin'
Spending days
as a dazed human
Around the sun with all stars bloomin'
In the garden of the night] two part

don’t let them take whatever they like
from your mind
people do it all the time
here we can stand in the dream of twilight
knowing what we know is most of the fight)three part

Crazed preachers
A new age
for the same teachers
Life is easy for divine genius
Never have to see the light

All of the stories that we have built our world from
What we believe, what we can see

The past is now and now is then and we are always
From time to time. Of mind to mind.

Strange creatures
Bouncing back
From what they've teached us
us and them is still today's feature
in the garden of this life

Sebastian and the Deep Blue Chamber Pop Orchestra with full brass and string section. Artful arrangements combine with pop sensibilities to create a sound which is undeniably their own. Think Talking Heads, Budos Band and Sufjan Stevens all rolled into a burrito. A musical burrito. ... more
