Off My Stack Lyrics

I've been out in the desert, oh, my god

And I've walked down by the sea

There are two ways you can live your life

A pagan once said that to me

Either everything's a miracle or nothing is a miracle

I got ashen clothes and soda spray

Pointing out the obvious to me

And I can assert my worth to a TV screen

But even the blues have betrayed me

Either everything's a miracle or nothing is a miracle

Can you be quiet enough so you get a turn

To wash your powder burns

And be free?

Whatever that means

Either everything's a miracle or nothing is a miracle

Not even you

Not even me

The birds up above

The fruit in the tree

The steel grey sky

The cold pavement

The rainbow colours

And the Ten Commandments

What can you name?

There's nothing special about it

It just kinda came

But some people doubt it

They want to say it's God

I guess it's 50/50 odds

But He's such a groovy guy

I mean He lives in the sky

Never in my life

Have I felt alright

Well, maybe one or two times

When the cocktail was right

But it's always wrong

So I sing these songs

To get a pat on the back

And get it off my stack
