Moving Pictures

Oh it's the law of nature baby Can't you see I got what I need and it sure ain't free Well I spend my days counting time Waiting on comfort to arrive You know some believe we're a moving picture Others say we're fulfilling scripture Oh no I believe in a destination But I believe in long vacation Oh well Jesus was a carpenter He knew the hammer and nail That's for sure So that's my religion man I can relate to working long hours on a summer's day You know some believe we're a moving picture Others say we're fulfilling scripture Oh no I believe in a destination But I believe in long vacation Hold yourself upright Be the natural state of your bones Work until your back is strong enough to stand alone Baby don't you stay and wait on the ringing of the phone Don't you fear wisdom is both your friend and foe Oh God I don't want to know Well when I feel the weight of eternity I practice better empathy And when loneliness is killing me I pay better attention to my company You know some believe we're a moving picture Others say we're fulfilling scripture Oh no I believe in a destination But I believe in long vacation Hold yourself upright Be the natural state of your bones Work until your back is strong enough to stand alone Baby don't stay and wait on the ringing of the phone Don't you fear wisdom is both your friend and foe Oh God I don't want to know
