“Human Sadness”:

beyond all ideas of right and wrong there is a field, i will be meeting you there

-Rumi

Put money in my hand
And I will do the things you want me to 
Vanity
Overriding wisdom
Usually common sense

Should I delete it
You said you’d read it
You promised you would never ruin it with sequels

I wake for you
On and on

 Beyond all ideas of right and wrong there is a field
 I will be meeting you there

The moon’s a skull, I think it’s grinning
The room is full of people now I think it’s spinning

Wanted you
Didn’t ask for nothing
Wait for you
On and on

And I don’t need your tie, I don’t need to, tired of saying it
We don’t need more talk, don’t empty out your canteen on the desert floor
Ahhh, it’s all my fault

Never wanna spell it out
I just want to say that it is all my fault
I could never spit it out
don’t wanna fix your tie

Never want to say we’re sad
Thankful that we got some chance
I
 know you won’t get back your time

I wish that you could take it back

Beyond all ideas of right and wrong there is a field
I will be meeting you there

He wanted it more than me, I suppose
was in a rush to wait in a line
N
ow I hear echoes of my old self
T
his is not the way to be
All at once
lost my way

Is it not true, the things that we did?
C
ome here at once and look what they did
C
ome here shut down and tune in tonite
Learn the words that they teach you without you realizing it
C
ome here sit down and watch some tv

Mine all mine
Wait your turn
C
ross my cross
Slice his hand
Not your son
Not your friend
Not your enemy

I rely on the little things to get me by
C
onscience says “I’m ok”
Y
ou don’t hear what they say
“H
e’s not my son, search his home”
O
ff to war
I
t’s time to go hide inside

Soft skin              
W
eak chin     
J
ust walk me thru it, tell me what to do I’ll do  

Hurry hurry, that’s my baby
Ohh, do what you can

All the time – he waits for me.
And now we talk from time to time

Hits you on the head when nobody’s there
T
hen he says ‘come here could you fix my tie?’

It’s never gonna be
T
o be is not the way to be

Show me where to go don’t get angry so quickly
Fuck depression

Beyond all ideas of right and wrong there is a field
will be meeting you there
U
nderstanding is more important than love
I
f not money will always trump justice

All is lost
I
‘ll find my way
S
o I say
T
o be is not to be
T
o be is not the way to be
