lyrics

The Globe

The globe, the earth
the evergreens, the alpine
the peaks, the valleys
the oceans, the deserts

you create, you consume
you explore, you stay in your room
you live pure, then roll in dirt
either way, you clean up well

You’re brutal, you wrecked it
you’re smart, you’ll fix it
you’re dual, you dabble
you’re cool, when you travel

It’s magnetic and your attracted
it’s magic — you call it that
when you can not see the link
to how it’s all connected

It’s math, it’s microscopes,
it’s witchcraft, it’s horoscopes
you smoke the dope, it’s how you cope
you’ll hang yourself with enough rope

You camouflage your intentions
you sabotage the intervention
so you can stay in a reality
of your own invention

you consider the alternative
you question the motive
you fear to speak the truth
so you spin your pleasant lies

As you roam the earth
among the evergreens and the alpine
As you climb the peaks
and ride down the valleys
you’re parched in the desert
and you're quenched in the ocean

you create, you consume
you explore, you stay in your room
you live pure, then roll in dirt
either way, you clean up well
