benny bangers - What you wish for Lyrics

What we must do, each one of us,
In our minds is act as nature does
Step, stumble, build, grow, expand, contract, establish, destroy
And all the while enjoy
We must be gods, each one of us
We must we must, or dust begust
Dust begoing the whole world, we let each other forget
And now the soil is practically dirt. Practically, thank god
If you go down to the banks of the Mississippi
And dig in the lush grasses and shrubs
You'll find those decomposers, ready to give our dirt a second chance
If we only would let it sink its nerves into our skin and clear out the gunk
Rewire our hearts to connect to our body again
Mind, magic, matter, take your pick
Intuitive slip, inevitable grip
Unless a compulsion to forestall, stay still, or haunted beasts and trapped trolls trick
They'll have you by the collar you won't even think to holler
Yet again, we might be god at least we might try
Not ape nor angel, but He who creates and destroys
And knows and knows and knows
We might be as one, but the fractal law of complexity requires resonant stability
That we, individuals, must take our place
Our place; an amazing grace
Not his or hers or theirs, but mine, and yours
But where's mine, that's not yours?
And its both, of course
And yet somehow I still am, and you still are, and we still dance
And one will be left, but now there's many
Now there's plenty, and plenty are empty
Distress me, caress me, come bless me,
Remnants seek, melons creep up shattered peaks
Bullish heaps of bullish beaks and boorish, bearish bourg-eeks
Bleak and bright as darkness falls and fires start
And when the sun comes around again the fires remain
A parasite on a dying host
A novel whose climax feels certain
Yet rests, unspoken, unwritten, unwitnessed
At the depths of the wishing well
So be careful
What you wish for
When you do, god
