Out Beyond The Here and Now
8Collect a thousand pennies from the cushions in your couch
Stack them into tens and them put them in your mouth
And now you must get ready to take the journey out
Out beyond the here and now
A summer day is punctuated by this water spout
That washes clean the sins that boiled underground
Strip off all your skin and be ready to bow down
Out beyond the here and now
Apropos of nothing
I’m riding low on life
Waking up at five AM
And turning off the lights
Bury that one idea the one you can’t live without
And in it’s place put the face that fills you up with doubt
And on to that face’s hair place the thorny crown
Out beyond the here and now
Apropos of nothing
Nothing’s scared never was
The universe a confusing mess
Of am and is and does
Once your thoughts are packaged up and ready to be shipped out
Some electric scheme in your brain sends signals to your mouth
But the moments in between are when it all goes south
Out beyond the here and now
Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 9+ years.
Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.
You can see my most current song, as well as songs from year's past over at http://songaday.org
