Not For Nothing

from Free Reality by Hays Holladay

/

lyrics

Goddam, Jeff Mangum
Need your direction at this time
Im blind enough to hear it
Let it in my life
Signing off sincerely
The cynic in my mind
I would volunteer but
I am waiting for the opera
The opera to ignite

In the still
A beaming light
Shine in the still
A beaming light
Shine in the still
A beaming light

Everyone tries
To Codify
The miles and the smiles
So sing this oak
And climb this hymn
Don’t die with a million
Songs in your head

Goddam Jeff Mangum


Please leave your bedroom
and take flight
To find the nonbeliever
Inculcate their mind
Wire up their receiver
And dedicate both sides
To all the insecure
Who say they can
That they will
But they won’t
And they don't
And they cope and they just resign

In the still
A beaming light
Shine in the still
A beaming light
Shine in the still
A beaming light

Everyone tries
To cauterize
The miles from the smiles
So sing this oak
And climb this hymn
Don’t die with a million
songs in your head
Don’t die with a million
songs in your head
Don’t die with a million
songs in your head
