Beginner's Mind - Bright Eyes

Hold on tight Beginner’s Mind

The wheel is spinning too

Fast to make your move

The worst must be assumed

Oh how they will try

To pull and to pry

Away what you know now

Beat and beat it out

Leave a drum that makes no sound

A snuff film on a JumboTron for all the world to see

A cocktail napkin epitaph

A psychobabble telegram

Message written in the sand

The tide rolls in Swear you’ll do the opposite

Of all those tangled hypocrites

Who say that the experiment has failed

Don’t go there

You’re getting nowhere

You’re getting nowhere

Stay awhile my Inner Child

I’d like to learn your trick

To know what makes you tick

To nurse you when you’re sick

Oh how you’ve grown so cynical

Hard lines carved in your face

The sunshine is so cliché

Just like love and pain

You tried your best on the Rorschach test

but there is just nothing to see

Heard terabytes of perfect pitch

Some universal elegance

Stack the seventh and the fifth

Along the grid

Swear you’ll be the opposite

Of all those stilted hypocrites

You know what made you infamous to them, don’t you?

You keep starting over

You keep starting over

You keep starting over

You keep starting over

Hold on tight Beginner’s Mind

The current is far too strong

It will carry you along

Till you’re just like everyone

Stay awhile my Inner Child

I’d like to learn your trick

To know what makes you tick

To nurse you when you’re sick
