about

written in the Spring of 2006 in Oshkosh, WI

lyrics

Enough about the fever,
and enough about the pain.
Long dismissed as nothing,
it'll rob your mind of sane.

Opened up the covers,
like it opened up your mind.
Not wanting to adhere,
by your labels all the time.

We're bringing down the city,
like we're bringing down the sky.
We're bring up Ginsberg,
and the wetness in your eyes.

Forget about the water,
and forget about the air.
We've alluded to drugs,
like the clothes that you must wear.

I think of myself as a song and dance man,
slipped by a page.
And I run from the long, hard road,
at the end of the day.

Transcendental people,
leaving transcendental stains.
A rescue on the weekend,
ain't nothing you can attain.

Enough about the fever,
and enough about the pain.
Long dismissed as nothing,
it'll rob your mind of sane.
