From ripe to rotten Too real to live Should I lie down or stand up? And walk around again? My eyes finally wide open up My eyes finally wide open shut To find the found of sound That hears the touch of my tears Smells the taste of all we waste Could feed the others But we smother each other with the nectar And pucker the sour bitter sweet weather It blows through our trees, swims through our seas Flies to the last gasp we left On this Earth It's a long lonely journey from death to birth It's a long lonely journey from death to birth It's a long lonely journey from death to birth It's a long lonely journey from death to birth Should I die again? Should I die around? The pounds of matter wailing through space I know I'll never know Until I come face to face With my own cold dead face With my own wooden case It's a long lonely journey from death to birth It's a long lonely journey from death to birth It's a long lonely journey from death to birth It's a long lonely journey from death to birth
