Platonic

lyrics

I would like to
live without a body.

I’ve heard there's only the physical.
I’m not sure that’s true.
They say the rest is illusion.
Well I may be an illusion too.

Fleshy pleasures 
are wasted on me.
Fleshy pleasures 
aren't what they're cracked up to be.

I’ve heard we live only for pleasure.
Whether base or cultured,
they call all of it pleasure.
It still won’t explain all I do.

Sounds don’t have bodies
and they are real enough for me.
Being a wave, being a wave.
might make one holy, not melancholy.

I’ve heard there's no noble love.
It's all only transactional.
But we all can feel real love
and we can all take part in beauty.

Please don’t reduce love.
No don’t reduce love,
don’t make it cheap and tawdry.
O don’t reduce love,
O then you'll lose love.
It’s not explained evolutionarily.

"Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line

Just drink up your blood like wine
An’ I said, 'Oh, I didn’t know that
But then again, there’s only one I’ve met
An’ he just smoked my eyelids
An’ punched my cigarette' " ... more
