The Grand Drama

Cosmic dancing circling a star

An orchestra with characters of life

Here on this one street corner

Silent harmony we move

Our grand drama performance

Shed our body and mind

We're one and electrified!

I was standin' at the florist, thinking, "damn, life's enormous"

We made it out the water up on the beach then burned the forest

Life is small it's nothin' when we only thinkin' of our importance

No matter what you believe, to breathe is all that we're adorned with

The rich can feel the poorest man, the poor can thrive and flourish

We got air, we got flair, we got voices, sing a chorus

We got companies, tragedies, sound sleepers and snorers

We got insomniacs, brainiacs, Democrats in Florida

It's expansive, planets might vanish still we nourish

Never empty-handed, we feel like all of life is for us

Life is shortness, light and shadow slippin' porous my man

I should really buy somethin' else at this florist goddamn

I buy some roses, headed home on to the wife I got to floor it

Crack a pamplemousse seltzer and I poured it

Packed a bowl but I ignored it

Night's velvet curtain closin' on today

But bright and early tomorrow mornin'

Starts the next day lead performance

Cosmic dancing circling a star

An orchestra with characters of life

Here on this one street corner

Silent harmony we move

Our grand drama performance

Shed our body and mind

We're one and electrified!

We all wanna save the world but can't help Mom with the dishes

Waves of goodwill, they come from ripples of assistance

I'm a dancer in this drama but my bone ache persistent

I got arthritis from this writin' attacking joints, with a grimace, and

All of life's a stage, so how you gonna act?

Be prepared to sing a while before ya even hear one clap

I closed my eyes for lifetimes man and all I'd see was black

Now that light is comin' back my stage fright about to crack

The universe cares more for love than for lux

You think you're above them all cause you had a hundred dollar lunch, da fuck?

It's all love, play your role, and when we gone the show goes on

Billions in this improv, we make laws, we drop bombs

We got to sleep, get up, go to work, then do it all again

Drama after drama problem after problem with no comma, damn

Some eating from silver, some from heroin spoon

All descendants of the stars under this one

Sun and moon, so why the drama?

It's all a drama

It feels real but it's drama, drama, drama

Silent harmony we move

Our grand drama performance

Shed our body and mind

We're one and electrified!

Silent harmony we move

Silent harmony we move

I came above ground at Penn 34th,

It felt like I was alive for the first time

Like a baby chick, hatchin' through the shell

Or a star freshly born in the universe

I see junkies on the corner in a barefoot group

Girls made up, gelled-hair suits and the mornin' marijuana smokers

All here on this one street corner,

Playing our roles in the grand drama performance
