  • up here so high ,start to escape
    up here so high the sky i scrape
    i'm so high i hold just one breath here within my chest....
    just like innocence

    that's one of my favorities,
    i can't pick
    i'm overfilled
    "want to be enlightened like i wanna be told the end"
  • All these reaching hands out grabbin' things
    grabbin me
    day in day out
    accumulating...
    I suggest you step out on your porch
    RUN AWAY MY SON ,TO SEE IT ALL, see the world
    oh, reach the door ........a breath and a scr......(that's breath)

  • >>>I thought in that line of Corduroy he said:"Everything has chains,absolutely nothing´s changed"


    Up until last week, I always thought it was "Everything has CHANGED,.."

    I can't believe it's actually CHAINS - it actually lessens the impact of this song for me. I always looked at it as everything in the world outside of me has changed, but nothing inside of me has changed, so absolutely nothing's changed. Bummer.
