The Frontier Index

(album: The Natural Bridge - 1996)

Of all of the people I knew
I always looked up to you
And after millions of years of crying
The sun still shines and shines

Look a horse, of course
Gallops through the desert light
I make such good time through sub-space when I
Dream all day and write all night

Robot walks into a bar
Orders a drink, lays down a bill
Bartender says "Hey we don't serve robots"
And the robot says "no, but someday you will"

Prison's a good time for some
Many people get caught with a gun
This trucker says it's good to be free
Says he knows lots of folks who agree

Bumper stickers talk to him
Say let the stars get in your eyes
Time, cum, sand and surf
These are the building building blocks of life

Boy wants a car from his dad
Dad says "First you got to cut that hair"
Boy says "Hey dad, Jesus had long hair"
And dad says "that's right son, Jesus walked everywhere"

When I was younger, I was a cobra
In every case I wanted to be cool
Now that I'm older, sub-space is colder
Just want to say something true
