I awake one morning in the dark before the day
Somehow knowing light will soon be creeping in this place
Some guy out there starts his engine, warming up his car
Birds of prey complete the cycle, rats crawl out from underneath the barn

Someone mentioned long ago some places I should go
Finger through encyclopediasiatic notes
Rivers full of rainbows flowing through Siberia
Craters made by atom bombs and trees bent by the snow

The monastery closed its doors to keep the darkness in
It might look like fraud to you but a win is still a win
A ramble through the brambles e’er so often and again
You don’t owe me anything

I do all my thinking as it circles down the drain
Nursing old ideas, asking permission to complain
They changed the font to Garamond at the university
And in exchange for some odd number, tossed it to the sea
