all explanations will seem too complex
unless we seek for hope within the shade
the thing that pleases us others will vex
we live our lives by means of pure reflex
the things that matter all too quickly fade
all explanations will seem too complex
our normal journeys turn into long treks
the half of us will never make the grade
the thing that pleases us others will vex
the act of thinking will most folk perplex
much clearer just to dance and wield the blade
all explanations will seem too complex
we feel the wind is cold upon our necks
and know that we can't choose the proper trade
the thing that pleases us others will vex
all of our lives resolve to work and sex
there's nothing else to pass through in parade
all explanations will seem too complex
the thing that pleases us others will vex
(C)2007, Fragano Ledgister
