it's up to you
you've got to take the risk
to see if it will grow
if it will explode
i don't wanna spend my life
under artificial lights
the sun is coming up beneath the willow tree
let's go outside
you can't depend on me
for your own sanity
as we grow we learn the wrong way
where'd ya hear those things you say?
i don't wanna spend my life
under artificial light
the sun is coming up beneath the willow tree
let's go outside
take the time to make the time
to be the things you claim to be
the things that you think you are
often aren't like you at all
i don't want to spend my life
under an official
reinvent the wheel
reinvent the machine
is your intention pure?
i don't wanna spend my life
under an official lie
the sun is coming up around the mountain's eye
let's go outside

4-track cassette recording, that was a fun little machine. I had lots of time alone, so much experimentation was going on.
