Working for vacation Walking for meditation Watching television for as long as I want People got science but makes no sense, Still can't do anything for cutting out violence When I think of something, it goes out to space Then it comes back (to me) in another shape We know we are not apes, But we could make sweet seedless grapes Feeling wrong 'cause the days are too long, Counting heartbeats 72 in a minute Feeling wrong 'cause the days are too long, Counting heartbeats 72 in a minute I need to talk to an ancient Egyptian to know the transcription To read the prescription for the friction we've got Or the options we'll have maybe God only knows
