All the small boats on the water aren't
going anywhere, Surely they must be loaded with more than simple matter, Floating on top and gracefully tending to the same pole, All the small boats on the water going nowhere Is it true that none of them, will ever break free and sail? Feel the night is made of rocks, the stagnant mass... Is it true that none of them, will ever break free and sail? Break free from the stagnant boats, left in obscurity All the faces with their eyes closed, giving a smile, weightless Like a body that would vacate to its own light Is it true that none of these contented happy faces will not ever hear a cry, won't hear a cry? Is it true that none of these contented happy faces will not ever hear a cry, filled with love not with desire, love not desire? |

I didn't question I didn't know
As far as I'd seen life was endless When I realized I had to let go We are mere mortals as to the rest It's not eternal, imperishable While on the move It's not eternal, interminable Progress is the clue I though IBM was born with the world The US flag would float forever The cold opponent did pack away The capital will have to follow It's not eternal, imperishable Oh yes it will go It's not eternal, imperishable The dinosaur law It's not eternal, imperishable Oh yes it will go It's not eternal, imperishable The dinosaur law Look at the symbols, they are alive They move evolve and then they die |
