INTRO:
doctor doctor…
do me something…
death’s no match for thee…
can you make one more delivery?
because my tenth grade teacher told me something
an alternate story
about a boy in a blue bandana…
that boy was me…
VERSE 1:
blank slate in the beginning
to wondering why we are here
figuring out what we wanted
and now we’re learning how to make it appear
though we will never remember the moment we landed
we’ll have to believe what we hear
woa oh oh oh
woa oh oh oh
woa oh oh oh
VERSE 2:
now how does the moon move the water?
the raindrops are really god’s tears…
the rainbow is god grinning upside down
colors linking each of his ears…
i used to worry, man i worried a lot
but now i’ve got nothing to fear
for it was blank slate in the beginning
and now we’re wondering why we are here…
we’re eating and sleeping…
and we’re moving and breathing…
and we’re wondering, wondering…
we’re wondering, wondering…
we’re wondering why we are here…
INTRO:
doctor doctor please don’t take away my dignity…
because once it’s gone there ain’t no point in carrying on…
fathers mothers, friends and lovers…
lining up to see…
remember that smiling baby?
that baby was me…
VERSE 3:
we may not have everything, all that we want…
but we’re learning how to make it appear…
and it was blank slate in the beginning
and now we’re wondering why we are here…
OUTRO:
(didn’t my teacher tell me “never believe what you hear?”)
(“all ears”)
