lyrics

Thirsty at the fountain no water there can slake
Dance round in the ring again forgive the new mistake
Conscious of my cheeseburger most mindful of my shake
Suddenly I hear my intuition start to quake

Chorus: So I wash it down, wash it down, wash it down

When the reader is the poem then just leave love alone
In a wink of eternity I find myself a home
Better be my own circumstance to the unknown
Suddenly I hear my intuition start to groan
(Chorus)

Colors seen by candlelight seem different by the day
Have to have been born then to see it that old way
Winter lies too long in hidden hands of those who pray
(Chorus)

Strange when you come to think of it and talk to me
That after all this terra firma was our place to be
Sunburnt by the glare of life still paint what I can see
Suddenly I hear my intuition start to flee
(Chorus)
