lyrics

If you’ve got a lover then you’ve got to love her and you should
And if all of the others visit in a dream, she won’t make a scene
If you’ve got to love her, you’ve just got to love her and you should
If you can feel the mother, feel the womb, it’s the right thing to do

To the state of my birth will I ever return?
Every waking moment spent searching for that urn
Do you have space in you?

To the state of my birth will I ever get back?
I’ve seen north Georgia on a downward track
It’s not that I need blue pine slopes,
Red mud, and a glass of Coke

If I’ve got a lover then I’m going to love her as I should
And if all of the others visit in a dream, I won’t say a thing
If you’ve got to love him you’ve just got to love him and you should
If you can feel the coffin, feel the tomb, it’s the only thing to do

To the state of my birth will I ever get me
No fault in the past, no fear in virgin territory
No caffeine when you die, no sugar

To non-being and to being
Live in one, think about the other
Think about swapping, think again
I don’t like that idea
But it visits in a dream and you can’t say a thing
