I spilled my french toast batter and yelled at it.
Sliding on the shimmering surface between two worldsStanding at the center of time as it uncurls
Cutting through the veil of illusion
Moving beyond past conclusions
Rendering all doubt and confusion clear
If I could be anywhere
If I could be anywhere
If I could be anywhere right now
I would want to be here
And the world can't take it very much longer
And we won't make it 'less we're smarter and stronger
The world's going to shake itself free of our greed somehow
And the world can't take it, that you can see
If the oceans don't make it neither will we
The world's going to shake itself all the way free somehow
If I could be anywhere
If I could be anywhere in time
If I could be anywhere and change the outcome
It would have to be nowJackson Browne,If I Could Be Anywhere lyrics © Swallow Turn Music
Emphasis, mine—sigh
You are the crown of creation
You are the crown of creation
And you've got no place to go
Soon you'll attain the stability you strive for
In the only way that it's granted
In a place among the fossils of our time
In loyalty to their kind
They cannot tolerate our minds
In loyalty to our kind
We cannot tolerate their obstruction
Life is change
How it differs from the rocks
I've seen their ways too often for my liking
New worlds to gain
My life is too survive
And be alive for you
Aah

and finally—
At the edge of consciousness
Where the lines they start to fade
Where the spirit goes undressed
Of all malice and brocade
At the edges, silvery edges
Where the mirror it bends and stretches
Past the edges of this world
Where the waters crash and curl
Take me down, take me down
Davey Jones yeah, take me down
