lyrics

What am I to do with all my faults?

How to best invest my limitations?

My understanding is evident in my actions

And subject to the symmetries of my sense organs.

Why fight for bondage as if it were freedom?

And why is freedom not just difficult to win, but so tough to bear?



Two men on the bus both separately notice the single baby shoe.

One man insists this baby shoe has been unfortunately forgotten.

The other man wonders aloud if this baby shoe hasn’t been abandoned.



Oh the confidence of the window washer moving through his scaffolds –

Up and down, his lowest point, far overhead.
