If every day In fact if every minute of every day From now on Is supposed to be a live-life-fully-sort of shock A kind of emergency of learning Or a one-chance-only kind of candy Then go rouse James Hed want to be here
For instance Hed want to look out at those green green branches Because even if they only have summer And are as nervous as can be Theyre still floating on air And hed know why And tell us
James was one of the first people around here who got glasses (And when he votes he whistles) And when he smooches ice cubes swirl Like theyre on another planet James is the kind of person you watch Because he believes in a movie for as long as it takes And hell roam and roam outside before breakfast Probably just to listen.
