(Doane)

Everything looks darkest just before the dawn

I was the living dead cut to shreds

Like clipping on the lawn

& it's hard to believe you get exactly what you need

Cause I never got what I always thought

Were the answers to my pleas

But now I know if you let it go it will throw you to your knees


So unexplained

And serendipity has it's way with me

Thrust into a state of levity

Oh I'm amazed by a seminal series of catastrophes

That some how turn out to be good for me


All the self-help conclusions left me feeling incomplete

I couldn't leave the sinking ship, the baggage was too deep

Then confusion dancing naked became my psychic friend

So I had asked if I'd make it back

She said try and try again and I had to laugh

At the stupid ass praying for the end


Why do I have to say to you know what you're going thru

You got away with it again, you could be just like me

Ooh no interrupt the flow

You start it all over again searching for the big amen

Brush up on your motocycle Zen
