lyrics

Riddle me this: four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs legging in the evening.
Riddle me this: often if I speak otherwise, I think I thought you said what you might have never seen.

And they say mind, body and soul are composed as one
and reality ain’t no joke.
Experience has taught me that the mind is all.
Remember me, seriously.
Close/open call on me.

(pre chorus)
A lover with nothing to tame.
A fiery one without a flame has nothing to tame.

(chorus)
Baby, woah oh oh, a fiery one without a flame has nothing to tame.

Until I thought of all the things that needed difference,
I followed a thing they called another new deadbeat fad.
Obscurity then presents itself a world anew
and not to become another common American shad.

So thus and therefore be not quivering and perceiving a little different.
Perplexity was an art in and of itself.
Sliding my way through the past that I knew.
One and after one, I’m stacking the friendships of my shelf.
