Everything Old Is New Again - Jason Berk

Sat at the lights while they change, on the dashboard I'm shaking I thought of you, and the boy with his head on the table Everything is new, everything is new And I know my digging And I know my singing too Well I knew the girl, before she was glazed Fried in time to the heat of your gaze She used to speak for herself (speak for herself) But now she speaks for the name Everything is new, everything is new Well I know my digging And I know my singing too The fruit in the window, it never decays It was built to last, it was bought to stay By a barefoot girl, from a different age Everything is new, everything is new Well I know my digging And I know my singing too

Every everything Everything is new Every everything Everything is new Every everything Everything is new I cried everything Everything is new I cried everything Everything is new Every everything Everything is new

I see houses filled with coloured light Trees and mountains bowing to the sky I can tell my loneliness to you Everything is beautiful and new Clouds like horses rushing at the sea Grasses leaning, learning to be free Things that left me puzzled in my youth Everything is beautiful and new Everything is beautiful and new Things I've seen, I know this to be true I can tell my happiness to you Everything is beautiful and new I see harbours filled with coloured sails Crowds of people smile about their way Nothing can be honoured but the truth Everything is beautiful and new Everything is beautiful and new Things I've seen, I know this to be true I can tell my happiness to you Everything is beautiful and new [Ad- Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

I'll disappear, in you In the fire, in you Thailand, Tetra The dream of the sea You and me Is everything Is everything Everything is everything Get me ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou Ou-ou-out of here Get me ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou Ou-ou-out of here Get me ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou Ou-ou-out of here Get me ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou Ou-ou-out of here I am an island More human than you Detached from the sea Uselessly Deny existence Flawed of everything And everything is everything Everything is everything Everything is everything Everything is everything Everything Is everything Get me ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou Ou-ou-out of here Get me ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou Ou-ou-out of here Get me ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou Ou-ou-out of here Get me ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou Ou-ou-out of here

Socrates & me Not the best combo lately No regrets just bent and out-of-stately Braiding wool and shredding glass Glowing face an aftermath It's an afterthought, and after that Well, I'll go home in monochrome Dictate words onto tape To cellophone and meditate Slamming pours and stirring dots Sliding hands and taking shots Braiding wool and shredding glass Glowing face an aftermath It's an afterthought, and after that Well, I'll go home in monochrome

What a waste A head case There's nothing I like more than being right But right now, I adore the fight What a night So uptight There's nothing I hate more than you seeing me this way And I'm nothing more than a lump of clay And a change will take place When I learn to embrace the unknown and untested new case I'm just an untested new case What a lie To amplify There's nothing I want more than to say how I feel But I'll just grip on to the steering wheel What a plan A leading man There's nothing I want more than for it all to work out But right now, it's a round-about And a change will take place When I learn to embrace the unknown and untested new case I'm just an untested new case

You woke up with that look on your face again The one that says, 'You better not say the wrong thing.' So I walked out, I walked away, I walked outside Where I thought, I better not say the wrong thing How could things that seem so simple be so heavy and abusive? And how could things that seem so perfect be so bad? And how could things that seem so clear be so sarcastic and elusive? And how could things that seem so lovely be so sad? I woke up with that feeling in my head again The one that says, 'You better not do the wrong thing.' So you walked out, you walked away, you walked outside Where you thought, 'I better not do the wrong thing.' How could things that seem so simple be so heavy and abusive? And how could things that seem so perfect be so bad? And how could things that seem so clear be so sarcastic and elusive? And how could things that seem so lovely be so sad? I don't know why we keep having these kinds of mornings When every little look feels like a warning And walking away feels exactly the same as saying goodbye How could things that seem so simple be so heavy and abusive? And how could things that seem so perfect be so bad? And how could things that seem so clear be so sarcastic and elusive? And how could things that seem so lovely be so sad?

I'm not gonna wait around For you to make a sound And your heavy breathing against my skin while I pretend I'm sleeping But I heard everything you said Do you know what it feels like? To be here when you're really not? Might as well be at the movies all by myself it would be easier Do you know what it feels like? When you can't even pretend to be Listening to what I'm saying I'd be better off just meditating I'm not gonna say a thing I'll just let your last words ring While I'm walking down the hallway your words still echoing But I heard everything you said Do you know what it feels like? To be here when you're really not? Might as well be at the movies all by myself it would be easier Do you know what it feels like? When you can't even pretend to be Listening to what I'm saying I'd be better of just meditating I'm not gonna wait around For you to come around And this heavy petting is nothing like I, I keep forgetting But I want everything you said
