horse head nebula of seaweed and strife
floatin' in the water, ain't it divine?
it's alright
now i'll go ahead admit i've had a little to drink
stars are gettin' sloppy and i don't want to think
but it's alright
'cuz oh
nothin's gonna change
the stars above
are gonna stay the same
everything's
gonna stay the same
no
nothin's gonna change
pillars of creation all drawn in the sand
lips are movin' but i don't understand
but it's alright
gettin' intimate with a cold kitchen sink
i'm spinnin' with the planets, i'm on the brink
but it's alright
'cuz oh
nothin's gonna change
same old friends
with the same old pains
everyday
feels a bit the same
no
nothin's gonna change
no
it ain't gonna change
oh
won't ever change
'cuz everyday i wake up
and the sunlight feels the same
and the alley out my window
ain't no buffer against the rain
on clearer nights i see the moon
in its new ouroboros state
it was full last you left me
now it's circled back again
but oh
it don't ever change
stars and moon
still shine the same
no
won't ever change
oh
you sat next to me
right to my left
then you got the best of me
and i hollered theft
but you started talkin' around
made sure everyone knows
that i ain't gonna see ya again
happened so quickly
(well, not in retrospect)
but i couldn't get my feet beneath
and had no eyes for suspect
but no holmes needed
now you've told me quite straight
that i ain't gonna see ya again
sometimes i'm walkin' down the street
you're on your porch and i'm right outside
i'm stuck across the street and i wanna die
this shakespearean shit's
left me all bereft
of any conclusion
i could expect
but you took my thinkin'
turned my head to my toes
and now i ain't gonna see ya again
yeah that's all there is
that i've come to know
no more seein' you
no more you comin' to shows
so i'll stick to the cards
and the old tarot cards
and i ain't gonna see ya again
no i ain't gonna see ya again
(but when could i see ya again?)
circled back again to the same old shit
nothin' short of a comet's gonna break this orbit
it's alright
yeah we're holdin' on along the same old line
me and my whiskey, we're doin' fine
it's alright
and oh
nothin's gonna change
the stars above
gonna stay the same
everyday
feels a bit the same
everything
best stay the same
let yourself have a moment or two
you’ve got time but nothing to do
get a new job, or go back to school
yeah, the world’s on fire but what can you do?
there will always
be people
who try to
control you
try to
annul you, your
intentions and
your passions
that’s just
distractions
and toxic
trash refractions
it’s endless
but it’s better
to focus and
tell me how you feel
now I’ve had my moment to stew
ripped up my plans and drafted some new
it’s hard sometimes to finish my art
it’s all I can do to keep from falling apart
these people
relentless
driven by
directives
never outright
perspectives
so we need
a few detectives
to keep it
open
hold back
erosion
but the words
are easy to string together
the backslide is real
the sky's gone gray again
said something wrong, gone're all of my friends
but i'll move on, criss cross, head somewhere fair
beacause there's nowhere to go but everywhere
and the shadows howl to me while i roam alone
"you don't have to stay, but you can't ever go home"
but i'll be alright wherever i am
and we'll all be pretty girls in the end
but oh(oh[oh])
it won't ever change
everything's
gonna stay the same
same old friends
and the same old pains
stars above
are gonna stay the same
no
won't nothin' change
