lyrics

To restyle and retool my daydreams,
Step to the left of my life
into the cool of the outside.
But it works on the logic of a ceaseless fire.

It’s the end of the road,
better watch your pockets.
Beginning of a hologram,
get-rich-quick scam.
For all the billionaires in their rockets,
It won’t matter to you who I am

You are entering a tiny, backward world
filled with privateers, racketeers.
It may seem like this fortune is bogus
after meditating fifteen years.

To restyle and retool your daydreams,
step to the left of your life
down into the cool of the outside.
But it works on the logic of a ceaseless fire.

Illumination is the kindest lover.
You can’t remember when to call.
I can’t remember what dress she desired,
backed in the corner at the mall.

Stand up and say that I’m not crazy
for what I’m tryin’ to do!
What was it that I was trying
before I met you?

To restyle and retool my daydreams,
Step to the left of my life
into the cool of the outside.
It works on the logic of a ceaseless fire.
I can’t remember what she desired.

This is my only outlet,
I’ve got to tell you something quick.
It’s a long way to here
From coolness
Just give me a big old break.
Or stand up and tell me
As you come back from the cool.
Stand up and tell me I’m not crazy
For what I’m tryin’ to do.
Tell me I'm not crazy
For what I’m tryin’ to do.
