Culpepper and I (Smart Version) Lyrics

Culpepper and I didn't know much

We lived on our wits, on our intuition

Always thought myself an illogical man

Just for kicks and for ambition

Highly logical beneath

Some thinking a spy in the fable

Rasping around like a seasoning mill

Just another condiment on the table

Oh, can we not do this tonight?

Taste those angry words

Oh, if you take the world

And all its sweet delights

If you think it all absurd

And the earth is just a kite

Suspended in the night

Suspended in the night

Parnell, is there anything there?

We followed our nose

I'm a new kind of pilgrim

Hound on the scent of rye and beans

Happily confused by the combination

My mind is so easily absorbed by such things

But I can get rueful

Telling myself it'll be alright

At the same time knowing it to be too cruel

Oh, can we not do this tonight?

Taste those angry words again

Oh, if you take the world

And all its sweet delights

If you think it all absurd

And the earth is just a kite

Suspended in the night

Suspended in the dark, dark night

There's got to be something more

So pick yourself off the floor

There's got to be something more

Culpepper and I knew what we knew

We smiled with passive resignation

Bored were we with waiting around

Cried on the fire of our transformation

Were we thinking too clearly there?

There was no hope, just honest failure

The present a bummed out eternity

Lost in mechanical supernature

Oh, can we not do this tonight?

Those antsy fancy words

Oh, if you take the world and all its sweet delights

If you think it all absurd

And this earth is just a kite

Suspended in the night

Suspended in the sweet, sweet night

Sweet night

Ah the sweet decay, unfulfilling sway

I can't get no satisfaction

There's got to be something more

There's got to be something more

There's got to be something more

There's just got to be

Culpepper
