Life's Not A Race

(Album: Soundsystem - 1999)

A day like today is for you
To let your mind unwind like you ought to
Feel the earth turn 'round when your heart rate slows
Contemplating the thing only your heart knows
That life's not a race

So hard to believe
Part of me will fade in the mystery
In a future world long ago
Part feels for your love
And lives to tell you so

The world whirls around your mind in a golden spiral
The natural way that things organize
You can't stop entropy so why even try
Observe the conscious flow and don't mystify
Life's not a race

So hard to believe
Part of me will fade in the mystery
In a future world long ago
Part feels for your love
And lives to tell you so

Slipping into a trance, a chance encounter in the autumn
What do I see an opportunity and then, I got em'
Sought a chill-out mix to carve some space to make you wanna listen
It's a bubbling spring and double in kings of this sound system

So hard to believe
Part of me will fade in the mystery
In a future world long ago
Part feels for your love
And lives to tell you so

Do you see world without end, the rising sun my friend
Imagine cloud-like, you will form again
In the spacey boredom in the autumn of late afternoon
You are calm just like a sleepy room
