the final frontier
what will ever make us change?
diamonds floating in front of our eyes?
I doubt it, much too easy
does the truth make you queasy?
ecstasy, permanent fulfillment
living proof that there is no roof
a lightning flash in the clash of a hoof
a chariot of fire coming every hour
the mind is not a thing to keep inside
everyone here is on their own ride
like sweet juice in a melon
like when you whistle in the woods
and you think it sounds good
but now you're a character in a fairy tale?
just what exactly is in your ale?
let this bread make you better
it's the stuff of life
the stuff that insulates the wires
that bring energy for light
something moves and changes everything
even the spacing of the aisles
but who knows what is being sold?
a silent question on a window sill
Apache territory, Oklahoma
a dirty thought erupts in a flurry of alone
the quickest puzzle to solve is one that's safe
the intentions of thieves are harder yet
think within the lines for the surest bet
the human brain, the final frontier
we should be afraid to get too near
