There is no beginning to the story, a bookshelf sinks into the sand And a language learned and forgot, in turn is studied once again It's a shocking bit of footage viewed from a shitty TV screenYou can squint at it through snowy static to make out the meaning And just keep stretching the antennae, hoping that it will come clear We need some reception, a higher message, just tell us what to fear Because I don't know what tomorrow brings It's alive with such possibilities All I know is I feel better when I singBurdens are lifted from me That's my voice rising So Michael, please keep the tape rolling Boys keep strumming those guitars We need a record of our failures, we must document our love I've sat too long in my silence, I've grown too old in my pain To shed this skin, be born again, it starts with an ending So thank you friends for the time we shared My love stays with you like sunlight and air Oh, I truly wish I could keep hanging around here But my joy is covering me, soon, I will disappear Well, not a movie, no private screening This method acting, well, I call that living It is a fountain, all the doors are open We got a problem with no solution But to love, love, love and to be loved So I've made peace with the falling leaves I see their same fate in my own body I won't be frightened when I am awoken from this dream And returned to that which gave birth to me And the story goes, and the story goes And it goes on and on and on and on It's going on and on and on It's going on and on and on It's going on and on and on It's going on and on and on And onAnd on And on...
