Just knowing that the world is round Here I'm dancing on the ground Am I right side up or upside down? Is this real or am I dreaming?
I'm not a real gadgety person. In fact, some people think that I'm kind of primitive.
Tomorrow is no place to place your better days.
I'm not a real gadgety person. But bottle opener is probably the gadget I can't live without. Actually, I can open a bottle of beer pretty easily without it, but wine is always too much of a pain in the (rear) to open that up. So a corkscrew is probably the gadget that I can't live without.
South Africa gives me a perspective of what's real and what's not real. So I go back to South Africa to both lose myself and gain awareness of myself. Every time I go back, it doesn't take long for me to get caught into a very different thing. A very different sense of myself.
Lying on the roof counting the stars that fill the sky I wonder if Someone in the heavens looking back down on me I'll never know So much space to believe
Don't lose the dreams inside your head They'll only be there until you're dead Dream
Goodnight moon. Sweet dreams. Smile kindly upon this little blue gum ball of us while we sleep.
She thinks, "Hey, How did I come to this? I dream myself a thousand times around the world, But I can't get out of this place"
Remember that there are hundreds of thousands of things you can eat that are not cheese.
I find sometimes it's easy to be myself, sometimes I find it's better to be somebody else.
Every day things change, but basically they stay the same
I'm not going to change my ways just to please you, or appease you
Love, you drive me to distraction.
