The Continuous Life

(album: Transistor - 1997)

When things are outta whack and they might collapse
And at the end of the day you still can't relax
And physically you ache like a cavity feeling the bind
On your mind and the rest of your body
Listen to your heartbeat flow and imagine
Become Jackson Pollack air brush Chinese dragons
On a sky blue conversion van or an electra
Buick of the mind full of luminous matter

And slowly all the pressure recedes and you stop to decay
Naturally think clearly
Ultimately though your grace will give way
To traffic jams, submachine guns in hand
City red-necks who think like the omega man
Feeling the extremes of the times we're living
Stockpile Spaghetti-o's and Cheerios
Planning to survive that fall-out shit

It's not ambiguous, it be continuous
It's all about us, it's for real my man
The continuous life, there is no end
Moving through life, moving through death
It's not ambiguous, it be continuous
It's all about us, it's for real my man
The continuous life, there is no end
Moving through life, moving through death

My radio emits a signal form
A loud noise, the kind of which I've never heard before
I scan the dial for more stations but all I get
Is an eerie feeling I'm not dreaming' this is the real dealing
There's nothin like this trance I'm caught in a daze
'Cause I'm finally out of my body the blue lights are ablaze
Yeah I'm really amazed and feeling so light, that's right
Lift off and I'm into the sky

As if a hologram were created to shift my consciousness
Changed again and I'm flung in the rift
Yeah, I wanna be free I wanna do right
I move through the portal to be purified

It's not ambiguous, it be continuous
It's all about us, it's for real my man
The continuous life, there is no end
Moving through life, moving through death
It's not ambiguous, it be continuous
It's all about us, it's for real my man
The continuous life, there is no end
Moving through life, moving through death

When we shed the skin, we'd be continuous
Catch the feeling, you're for real
The continuous life, there is no end
Moving through life, moving through death
