Journey



Effervescent people swim in the streets
fat cats with long tails hiss at meets
smiles fill a crowded cell
and shake the feeling of present hell.

You pick my brain ill pick yours
well see what ticks and tocks and view our clocks just to see when it stops
we'll spin like tops and dance like moths
untill we burn in the light of bliss.

We'll plant our roots and begin to sprout
after all... isnt that what life is about?
we'll grow our fruits
and feed in groups
untill we fall over and lay ever more.

A millenium isn't far if we can reach
and touch a billion stars along the way
just to say we did.

Yea kid, you and i, lets do everything.
