Caught It from the Rye

The sky then opened up, and from it came a light

Where have you been? I caught it from the rye

Well, I was in a canyon, mingled with a tribe

Soon became my family as I became their kind

Sure I'm gettin' older, but younger than you still

Where have you been? Was in the northern hills

Pickin' up the daisies, a child left behind

As I put 'em by a tombstone, pretendin' it was mine

And it's the changin' of the walls

All my favorite paintings, they keep on fallin' down

And I need savin' by the grace of God

But I know He's off creatin' another one like me

Lively live a lot, then die beyond and rot

Where have you been? Just ponderin' a thought

If nothing's everlastin', and everything is lost

Then everyone around me is all I ever got

Sure I blame the order, the government is real

Where have you been? Just tryna make a deal

To the chief commander, be privy on the small

'Cause soon they'll understand it, the ice will fall to salt

And it's the changin' of the walls

All my favorite paintings, they keep on fallin' down

Yeah, you know I need savin' by the grace of God

But I know He's off creatin' another one like me

Just let a cage bird sing prison tunes

To pass the time-ime

No, oh
