from the 2007 7-song mini-album 'Seventh String', released 07/07/07.
Zen
Zen. Is a Deodourant.
Don't everyone know?
And Redemption, is cashing in your coupons
Turn dreams into dough.
Nevermind reality, what the words really mean
Nevermind the history, as long as the ad is seen
What's the Real Thing, anyway?
There's liquid assets to tap
And it all comes so freshly laundered
Falls right into your lap.
So. Appropriation's how it's always been
And the plain truth, is do what you oughta
And always look keen
Nevermind the history, now that's all in the past
Nevermind tomorrow, how we can make it last
Could be wrong anyway, you can prove your own facts
Just feed the Great Kaleidoscope
That's designed to distract
And there could be a Way to get round it!
The way these words come into our language
As long as they are there, maybe we've found it!
And we can look forward to a brighter yesterday!
Well, it don't matter about the words!
As long as the tune is right...
And we'll lose ourselves 'til hope is out of sight
And we'll lose ourselves 'til hope is out of sight
... is out of sight.
