Lyrics: Bill Callahan. Nothing Rises To Meet Me.
I had a thought just then
Nearly did me in
But I called and said 'no'
Just to make it go
This is the crude discipline
That keeps me running
A honeycomb spun
Could I spin it any thinner?
Should I hold all my money
Or spend it all in one night
On the biggest woman
That I can find
Well it doesn't seem to matter much
And worse still this tremendous touch
To conquer what I will
Return without a chill
And feeling open still
And wanting to be filled
Seek and ye shall find
You need more seeking time
And when I overcome
Nothing rises to meet me
Destroy everything
Examine the remains
Destroy everything
Then rebuild it again
This is the crude discipline
That keeps me running...
Nearly did me in
But I called and said 'no'
Just to make it go
This is the crude discipline
That keeps me running
A honeycomb spun
Could I spin it any thinner?
Should I hold all my money
Or spend it all in one night
On the biggest woman
That I can find
Well it doesn't seem to matter much
And worse still this tremendous touch
To conquer what I will
Return without a chill
And feeling open still
And wanting to be filled
Seek and ye shall find
You need more seeking time
And when I overcome
Nothing rises to meet me
Destroy everything
Examine the remains
Destroy everything
Then rebuild it again
This is the crude discipline
That keeps me running...
Bill Callahan
