No I'll not renounce my views, do what others do   I'd rather drink the hemlock than be like you, to my soul untrue   It never gets easier, so quit tryin' pleasing her   Everything is a choice so let me hear your voice      Born in October night, feeling was out a sight   Skin I'm in now and then moves like a meteorite   Noise in our culture is built in our nature   Another era will decode as we head toward rapture      Suppose we're all gifted, suppose that the mist is   A metaphor for change, suppose the veil will be lifted   Sacrament that I hold, close and I feel noble   Solar marigolds light the souls return from that other world      Sometimes when I'm awake I can't tell if I'm still dreaming   There's so much here at stake   When every moment is just fleeting   Sometimes when I'm awake I can't tell if I'm still dreaming      It never gets easier, so quit tryin' pleasing her   Everything is a choice so let me hear your voice      Rip up the evening post kill parasitic hosts   We can shoulder all the karma that came with Los Alamos   Return the sky bottle blue, return that forgotten hue   A looking glass world seeing into and through you      Soul and body are my twins, the latter will give in   When the former views the ocean as not too cold to get in   To Martian life forms these waters are real warm   But beware we can change the weather and create a snowstorm      Sometimes when I'm awake I can't tell if I'm still dreaming   There's so much here at stake   When every moment is just fleeting   Sometimes when I'm awake I can't tell if I'm still dreaming      No I'll not renounce my views and do what others do   I'd rather drink the hemlock than be like you, to my soul untrue   It never gets easier, so quit tryin' pleasing her   Everything is a choice so let me hear your voice
