Enchanted Thoughtfist

(album: Never Breathe What You Can't See - 2004)

I am a product of the television age
Zoom in on what's important
Get the point right away
A modern lack of patience
is it a virtue?
Hardly ever read books
devours easily few

I say it again
We all believe what we want to believe
Don't just question authority
Question everything

Felt I had to confess
In Ginsberg's apartment
My literary background's mostly songs and cartoons
He said 'Oh, that's just fine'
I sort of felt relieved
But when I hurl my word bombs
How much should be believed?

I say it again
We all believe what we want to believe
Don't just question authority
Don't forget to question me!
Oh yeah, that's right
it takes nights
with insight

The pressure of being taken seriously
breathing down on me
to keep up with my extremes
and keep on planting seeds
joyous sabotage
so far so good
now where do we go from here?
it always feels weird
when people come up to me
and say I changed their lives
I say 'Now it's your turn to start a fire!' Fire!
Start your own fire
Bring the world fire
