From the recording The Clocktower
Lyrics
(I know that life ain’t easy)
A pair of eyes, a pair of sticks
Tower clock of tossing bricks
They always talk but never tick
The cog and wheel of politics
(The cog and wheel of politics)
Paranoia at your toes
On the punching line of cosmic jokes
Throw away your map and know
Every path is overgrown
Every path is overgrown
I know that life ain’t easy
A race with no end
And every time you hurt
You go back to the start
You’re feeling so defeated
You’re chasing the wind
No matter where you turn
You go back to the start
Joseph in a colored coat
Sister, brother by the throat
Floating down a violent stream
You say, “can’t you see that you are me?
Can’t you see that you are me?”
I know that life ain’t easy
A race with no end
And every time you hurt
You go back to the start
You’re feeling so defeated
You’re chasing the wind
No matter where you turn
You go back to the start
Back to the start, oh
Scattered bricks on the land
An ancient tree on its death bed
And you can’t understand
Come on and lift up your head
Lift up your head
Lift up your head
Come on and lift up your head
(I know that life ain’t easy)
I know that life ain’t easy
Come on and lift up your head
(Lift up your head)
I know that life ain’t easy
Come on and lift up your head
(Lift up your head)
