Mindspin

(Album: Soundsystem - 1999)

Are you missing us
Maybe wanting to be kissing us
If you must
Then please don't be dismissing us
When we're gone bailing on the bus
Are we immersed in a sea of replicas
Hard exteriors and fake gold fronts
Losing yourself in the flavor of the month
Gotta be a better reason to colonize a star
Gotta be a better reason man's come so far

Is that you in the mama-ocean-people-see
Is that you in this dream I see waving me
Closer with one hand
While the other shields your eyes as if surprised
To see the universe begin

Being up on the mindspin
Are you still glad that it has been
Six years and seven months
This is what you want, don't front
I'm feeling it right now
In this, the gold hour
Part clock and part man
Reconciling my life span

Keeping things whole
We move out of the space where air flows
When all of a sudden here we are and here we go
The evolutionary mind turns twists backflips
In space-time the continuum, real-life planetarium
It's a natural fact time is speeding up there isn't much left
Heart rate increasing busting through your chest
Compressed is your life in the physical
But out of memory comes a vision which is a miracle

Yeah that normally we just can't see
It's not natural or typical of our same old thing
Living too fast unable to grasp the past or the future
When at last we ripple after our big splash

Being up on the mindspin
Are you still glad that it has been
Six years and seven months
This is what you want don't front
I'm feelin it right now
In this, the gold hour
Part clock and part man
Reconciling my life span

You remain and refrain from the pain of wasted time
The last thing on my mind is
Running high, fuel supply, reason why
We just don't quit
Can you get with a melding of two minds
What's the worst thing you could find?
A paper trail that prevails in demystification
People want to believe in mysteries
People want to believe in mysteries
Is the truth so bad? Is the truth so bad?
Is the truth so bad? Is the truth so bad?
