lyrics

It is what it is
You’d rather it wasn’t
I'm watching the people
They are eyeing the eagle
A greeting
A greeting of immediacy
Dictates is restraining
Stars blink they are rising
You say that it is but mean it was
There’s no getting going
When everything stops
There’s no getting going
When everything stops

Time’s a kind of currency
Open up the door
There’s always something more
You’ll find your audience

You never had
Never had much luck
But look you are living
Free as you’re stuck
Things always are
More than they let on
What is and becomes
Punch-drunk stunned
