for somewhere slow ?Cause I?ve heard it?s better than nowhere fast And all that the fireflies won?t show me Fades to black Carry me river Down through the mountain stream
We were born of a different world Where men go riches to rags Use their hands to make something new Or hold them high with white flags Watch the light
For the love of the ladies, and the bullshit we've sold Put down them papers, empty those minds Turn up the music it's time to unwind I got some time
each other for warmth As we fall through the sky And I fell in love for the first and the last time I fell in love for the first and the last time And
view Of all the summer sets You see I know where I?m going And I know where I?ve been I tell my lady that my ship?s coming in I got no time for fiasco
make The news for an hour or two The light in the tunnel Will be here tomorrow But dims as we borrow Time to make a change Now it?s time to make a change

of my earthly leave Entwining me with the continuous structure of time Knowledge of ages compressed into my state of being Rising into a higher stream of consciousness
of a child And a smile so innocent and a heart so militant Brain's got an ill intent, so be intense Some friends at the margin Making summer streams harden
