Gave birth to me, gave birth to me, gave birth to me
So Michael, please keep the tape rollin'
We need some reception, a higher message, just tell us what to fear
So, I've made peace with the falling leaves
Burdens are lifted from me, that's my voice risin'
You can squint at it through snowy static to make out the meaning
My joy is covering me, soon I will disappear
And the story goes, and the story goes, and
And returned to that which gave birth to me
We have a problem with no solution but to love and to be loved
This method acting, well, I call that living yea
Boys keep strumming those guitars, we need a record of our failures
And keep on stretching the antennae, hoping that it will come clear
'Cause I don't know what tomorrow brings
My love stays with you like sunlight and air
If we must document out love, I've sat too long in my silence
It goes on and on and on and on
It goes on and on and on and on
It's alive with such possibilities, all I know is I feel better when I sing
And I truly wish I could keep hangin' around here
Won't be frightened when I am awoken from this dream
It's a shocking bit of footage viewed from a shitty TV screen
it starts with an ending
So thank you friends for good time we shared
I see their same fate in my own body
I've grown too old in my pain to shed this skin, be born again
It's like a fountain, a door has opened
It's not a movie, no private screenin'
