Finding out it’s just a matter of time & that’s all
God speed yeah, don’t you wait too long
Don’t sleep, oh will you come on
Drink deep from the well, fill your cup & come on
Come on, well it’s on, oh it’s on
Down & up is just a white light flicker tonight
Gimme danger, get me uh, keep me hung on the vine
How are you so risk un-taking?
Can you doubt it if you ever had a stake in at all?
Come on, well it’s on, I said come on
Drink deep; get drunk on it
By virtue or wine, by word or by song
Baudelaire said, “Don’t be the martyred slaves of time”
I’m standing on the ceiling; the floor is holding me down
I’m lulled to sleep, yeah; I’m bored out loud
You lead & I’ll follow
What you spit I swear I’ll swallow
Come on, oh well it’s on, I said come on
Drink deep; get drunk on it
By virtue or wine, by word or by song
Baudelaire will you take us home tonight
Take us home, come on!
