about

Trees, wine, noumenon, and cable TV salesmen: another day in the neighborhood.

lyrics

The man at the door says he can offer us more
channels than we've been getting
and I feel bad for the guy, he's not really spry
and it's so hot his eyeballs are sweating

but this is the way it's gonna be from this day
forward into the future
bad jobs, bad weather, we'll all go together
though metanoia will get you there sooner

nothing can go back to normal
cause normal is way over there
change is the constant, change is the measure
the center is everywhere

in the backfire
the backfire
in the backfire
the backfire

time's out of joint, there's really no point,
if the Ding an Sich es verboten,
but maybe it's not such a Gordian knot
if we are the sea the world floats in--
that won't help the guy who's trying to get by
pitching me cable TV;
I tell him: philosophy's fine, but so is cheap wine,
so let's get drunk under that tree.
