Like It's a Gift Video (MV)

Was born and
Am breathing
So many gifts receiving
In form and
In function
With unwavering unction
Completely
Confounded
By grateful sound surrounded
Yet know that
This needing
In all its breath and breathing
Will still carry form to bury
So deeply
Diverted
That the truth will pervert it
Triumphant
Treasurer
Oh, mighty my measurer
So seeking
That seance
In every nook and nuance
Please bestow
With blessing
The love that keeps us guessing
Through trouble
Through terror
Prove that there is no error
Even though one knows there's no fun
In plain-old
Perfection
Lead only that direction

Don't live for a lover
Don't live for the bills
Don't look for completion
In pretty little pills
Eat only for the body
Dance for the exercise
Always be a good one
In Jesus' eyes
Climb that ladder
Free and naked
Listen to the wise
Run with the swift
Live this life like it's a gift

Gather up yer ashes before your burnt
Scatter 'em over all that dirt you learnt
Flick a tear off with yer middle finger pointed
At the mummified monkeys Yesu anointed
Think thoughtfully about the consequences
Strategic use of therefores and hences
Do that dance like yer check damn near depended
Even when the bank swears it ain't already spended
Call a relative every other chance you get
And every other chance dwell on not calling 'em yet
Count every little light up in the sky
And if it's high noon don't count on counting too high
Look left, right, left, both sides of the street
Look hungry when you feel like you're looking to eat
Never break a law unless you're contemplating
Joining hands with extremes and voting for Satan
Suck on the thumb as long as you're numb
To the paradox growing old can become
And as you gaze back on your web of choices
Be sure to listen close for spiders' voices
Always hang on tight to your favorite color
And if you change your mind just favor another
Way to recognize each grain of sand ya sift
Through fingers over mouth screaming "Life's a gift"

Don't live for a lover
Don't live for the bills
Don't look for completion
In pretty little pills
Eat only for the body
Dance for the exercise
Always be a good one
In Jesus' eyes
Climb that ladder
Free and naked
Listen to the wise
Run with the swift
Live this life like it's a gift

(Like it's a gift, like it's a gift
Like it's a gift, like it's a gift
Like it's a gift, like it's a gift
Like it's a gift, like it's a gift
Like it's a gift, like it's a gift
Like it's a gift, like it's a gift)
