about

all instruments - real and played in real time - by Michael On Fire

lyrics

That mystical place where the elephants die …That place – of memories
Looks like a place in Florida where the melaleuca trees grow
Bones growing out of the earth, bleached by the Southern sun
The homeless guy who sleeps in the alley screams to the top of his lungs
You couldn’t live a minute in my world, but I could live a lifetime in yours

And I said - can I help you?
And he said – calm your fears
I’m just passing through my wilderness years

He lives on the corner
I don’t know where he goes when the blizzards come
I don’t know where he sleeps when it’s raining
He just seems to walk around in paradise
Then he says – you may think that when I say I that I mean me
When I say I, I don’t mean me. Me is me, and I am I

Chorus

Perception is everything. Intelligence is a matter of opinion
Beauty is physical fitness. Opinions simply need a witness
The free speech cops have made it tough for me to speak my mind
I’m not into anything. I’m into everything
