private lightning
a second passed album
Lyrics
I see the future, in all its glory
My droid has green eyes, his name is Henry
If I had a buffalo Nickel for every time
My dreams collided with stark reality
I'd buy a super yacht and sail it
Around the seven seas then right back home.
I'd take a breath and try to calculate my fate.
And hope I don't end up like Sharon Tate
Shine when others tell you
that the world we know
is a ball of confusion
Shine
Maybe I will ponder, calculate and scheme
I'll find a way to capture joy
synthesize it in a jar
and maybe I'll get Henry to do all the work.
In case of failure or despair
Take a generous spoonful from my jar
And keep on dancing
with great abandon
Don't let them see you
Just keep on tapping
(Mommas little baby will never cry
Mommas little baby would rather die)
Just keep on shining
There's a silver lining
