Glow Ants 04:36
Stargazer in a wilderness Of lattice masts and litter bins and fake success Daydreamer, out of a thousand ways To make a fool of oneself, this is what I picked And from a tower’s height, late at night Down there in the distance Cars are glow ants, glow ants Queuing in search of some light Glow ants, on familiar trails Maybe on the wrong track Why be just a number, I couldn’t carry that load An item ready to be scanned, doomed as a barcode Early loner in a schoolyard microcosm Teased and singled out where souls begin to blossom And from a tower’s height, late at night Down there in the distance Cars are glow ants, glow ants Queuing in search of some light Glow ants, on familiar trails Maybe on the wrong track Oh there must be more than material ways To our beautiful ephemeral days And from a tower’s height, late at night Down there in the distance Cars are glow ants, glow ants Queuing in search of some light Glow ants, on familiar trails Maybe on the wrong track

You may now turn off the daylight And turn on the night Switch off your left brain And switch on the right Let the alpha waves in And pictures from Utopia Like a prelude to slumber All vanishing criteria Let go of your ritualized space Just close your eyes and rest your case Sensorial calm, subconscious pace Find yourself leaving with no trace Bring silver moon chips from that remote place Stringed as some transcendental necklace For the one you love You may now turn off the daylight And turn on the night Switch off your left brain And switch on the right Let the alpha waves in And pictures from Utopia Like a prelude to slumber All vanishing criteria
