Twenty Years Later

(albüm: Joy - 2009)

I can hold my breath for a minute or so
Five days without food is as long as I'll go
I didn't sleep once for four days and three nights
I once didn't stop for seven red lights

I jumped into water that's fifty degrees
I've rowed in a kayak in thirty foot seas
I've stayed in the woods for a week with a knife
A flint, when I lost it nearly cost me my life
Twenty years later I'm still upside down

And it's a small world and it's turning real fast
(We're upside down)
It's a new day and the morning has passed
(Turned upside down)

It's a short road but the mountains aren't tall
(Lived upside down)
It's a small world but we all start out small

I've pulled through air though I feel I'm alone
I stick with the others to the skin of the stone
I stop for a stranger just to give him a lift
I cling like a lizard to the side of a cliff

I treat every minute like an hour and then
It seems like a year has just flashed by again
We build a foundation but where do we stand
When all air is water and all water is land?
Twenty years later, I'm still upside down

And it's a small world and it's turning real fast
(We're upside down)
It's a new day but the morning has passed
(Turned upside down)

It's a short road but the mountains aren't tall
(Lived upside down)
It's a small world but we all start out small

Feel it turning in circles
And you're never the same again
Spin slowly while sounds cascade and decay
I'm here upside down

It's a small world but it's turning real fast
(Turned upside down)
It's a new day but the morning has passed
(Here upside down)

It's a short road but the mountains aren't tall
(Lived upside down)
It's a small world and we all start out small

Inside this silence see
All are free, all are free second time around
Inside this silence see
All are free, all are free second time around

Inside this silence see
All are free, all are free second time around
Inside this silence see
All are free, all are free second time around

Inside this silence see
All are free, all are free second time around
Inside this silence see
All are free, all are free second time around

Inside this silence see
All are free, all are free second time around
Inside this silence see
All are free, all are free second time around
