Kid Stuff 04:50
I am in my finest hour Recently emerged from increasingly submerged Head full of junk and nothin' Where junk is not worth its weight in time Or conversation So I do not Yeah, Kid stuff That which I ignore That which I ignore Picture a portrait of yourself And that is what you are Cropped Master the edit The length and get the whole head in Not only a mouth talking Not again We are not ready for that yet Not again Spend time on it Meditate a ring around the sun Not to leave until I know it That which I ignore Choose shoes only for reinforcement Unnecessary accessories For the portrait But the beautiful booming pony sound The spirit of a horse following me out Up and down stark pavement slates Riding over scattered shadows Reminds me That I am still on the run That which is not lost is not gone That which I ignore That which I ignore Kid Stuff Which waiting gracefully for me In dusky evening In late night reverie Now waiting in the light of day At my garden gate For me The second wave coming Reminds me That I am still on the run That which is not lost Is not gone That which I ignore That which I ignore We are the public eye and mouth and hand Watching over landscape From which we have been extracted Smoked out of the streets Led in We watch nothing Go around and around In freedom We are on a dangerous wind Of changing pace Shadow walking to the future Watching clocks, kettles Sunset after sunset For a sign of change Washing lines heavy with cargo I do not need Hanging from my lines That which I ignore That which I ignore The conversations sound like interviews From cool blue screens An impression of a soul you once knew Through filter and distorted interview And you talk and you talk Of Kid Stuff and all of that Someone quiet and important told me To turn my mind toward That which I ignore To spend time on it To meditate a ring around the sun Not to leave until I know it That which I ignore That which I ignore Someone quiet said that Someone that I forgot Someone I ignore That which I ignore Which waiting gracefully for me In dusky evening In late night reverie Now waiting in the light of day At my garden gate For me The second wave coming Reminds me That I am still on the run That which is not lost Is not gone That which I ignore That which I ignore That which I ignore Kid stuff Someone quiet and important told me To spend time on it To meditate a ring around the sun Not to leave until I know it That which I ignore That which I ignore Someone quiet said that Someone that I forgot Someone young Someone I ignore Kid stuff And all of that

about

I am in my finest hour
Recently emerged from increasingly submerged
Head full of junk and nothin'

Where junk is not worth its weight in time
Or conversation
So I do not
Yeah,
Kid stuff

That which I ignore
That which I ignore

Picture a portrait of yourself
And that is what you are
Cropped
Master the edit
The length and get the whole head in
Not only a mouth talking
Not again
We are not ready for that yet
Not again

Spend time on it
Meditate a ring around the sun
Not to leave until I know it
That which I ignore

Choose shoes only for reinforcement
Unnecessary accessories
For the portrait
But the beautiful booming pony sound
The spirit of a horse following me out
Up and down stark pavement slates
Riding over scattered shadows
Reminds me
That I am still on the run
That which is not lost is not gone

That which I ignore
That which I ignore

Kid Stuff

Which waiting gracefully for me
In dusky evening
In late night reverie
Now waiting in the light of day
At my garden gate
For me
The second wave coming
Reminds me
That I am still on the run
That which is not lost
Is not gone

That which I ignore
That which I ignore

We are the public eye and mouth and hand
Watching over landscape
From which we have been extracted
Smoked out of the streets
Led in
We watch nothing
Go around and around
In freedom

We are on a dangerous wind
Of changing pace
Shadow walking to the future
Watching clocks, kettles
Sunset after sunset
For a sign of change
Washing lines heavy with cargo
I do not need
Hanging from my lines

That which I ignore
That which I ignore

The conversations sound like interviews
From cool blue screens
An impression of a soul you once knew
Through filter and distorted interview
And you talk and you talk
Of Kid Stuff and all of that

Someone quiet and important told me
To turn my mind toward
That which I ignore
To spend time on it
To meditate a ring around the sun
Not to leave until I know it
That which I ignore
That which I ignore

Someone quiet said that
Someone that I forgot
Someone I ignore
That which I ignore

Which waiting gracefully for me
In dusky evening
In late night reverie
Now waiting in the light of day
At my garden gate
For me
The second wave coming
Reminds me
That I am still on the run
That which is not lost
Is not gone

That which I ignore
That which I ignore
That which I ignore

Kid stuff

Someone quiet and important told me
To spend time on it
To meditate a ring around the sun
Not to leave until I know it

That which I ignore
That which I ignore

Someone quiet said that
Someone that I forgot
Someone young
Someone I ignore

Kid stuff
And all of that
