Spirit Talk

from God Knows What by Conductors

lyrics

I haven't been afraid in awhile
not like the people in movies
running all over the place
screaming uncontrollably.

Then again I've never seen
a spirit gliding towards me
visible and audible
inexplicably.

Are all the bunnies I see in the night
terrified of me? 
Running in fear from me?
Coz they can’t explain what they see?

[Should we be afraid
of spirits anyway?
If they are at all
they’re immaterial]

I want to be
familiar with everything.
There would no fear
I’d try to hear the great spirit sing.

You'll talk about spirits but not about God.
O baby baby isn't that odd?
You don’t look around for the great spirit.
It’s not found by buying tickets.
God doesn’t have a body, anymore.
No, God doesn’t have a body, no, no.

Is a person shaped by times of great stress
or is it times of long rest? 
What you do as a choice
matters more than when you’re forced.

Doesn't take a womanizer
to make you a woman.
Doesn't take an advertiser
to make you a plan.

No, baby don't have to compete.
No, you don’t have to act that way.
Appreciate what's at your feet,
while you’re thinking you can pray.

It's making me worried -
all my disagreeing.
I feel displeased
with everything around me.

O it irritates me so
when you claim to know what you don’t know.
You think there is nothing you can’t understand.
Maybe that’s true, but not at yr command.
God knows whether God’s real

I want to be
familiar with everything.
I want to hear
the great spirit sing.

"Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line
She said that all the railroad men
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
