in the moment I was losing my head
readin` too much and losin` my head and I was
reachin` forward, I was already there
readin` too much and losin` my head
this information caused a cut in the line
now I`m remembering God and readin` too much
it`s so nice
the print is smaller than the ants in the grass
I`ll have to put it away now 

in the morning there are things to be read,
words to be said, and food to be fed,
but I won`t be there.
I`ll be clutchin` on a megaphone pointed at my head,
would you be there,
would you kindly, read this word for word
so loud and clear,
I can`t remember it all,
it needs to be clear, I tell you,
if the feeling drops out of your voice,
would you kindly pick it up 

this is how, I`ll go out tonight
dressed in blue, by the book tonight
this is how, I`ll go out tonight
but I don`t need a book. 

we`re talkin` anchors, talkin` ships, we`re talkin` seas,
we`re talkin` everything you need
you should be workin` now,
not only askin` how
and the whereabouts of where you`ll be.
I don`t suspect you will be thinking
when the brain is dead
and the mind has taken over,
this is a skill, this is not a game,
where have you been,
are you with us?
can you hear us?
got the megaphone pointed at you
