Beginner's mind

Hold on tight beginners mind
The wheel is spinning too
Fast to make your move
The worst must be assumed
Oh how they´ll try to pull and pry
Away what you know now
Beat and beat it out
Leave a drum that makes no sound
A snuff film on a jumbotron
For all the world to see
A cocktail napkin epitaph
Some psycho babel telegram
Message written in the sand
The tide rolls in
Swear you´ll do the opposite
Of all those tangled hypocrites
Who say that the experiment has failed
Don´t go there
You´re getting nowhere
You´re getting nowhere
Stay a while my inner child
I´d like to learn your tricks
Know what makes you tick
Nurse you when you´re sick
Oh how you´ve grown so cynical
Hard lines carved in your face
The sunshine´s so cliche
Just like love and pain
You tried your best the rorschach test
But there´s just nothing to see
Heard terabytes of perfect pitch
Some universal elegance
Stack the seventh and the fifth
Along the bridge
Swear you´ll be the opposite
Of all the stilted hypocrites
You know what made you infamous to them
Don´t you
You keep starting over
Keep starting over
Hold on tight beginner´s mind
The currents far too strong
It´ll carry you along
Till you´re just like everyone
Stay a while my inner child
I´d like to learn your trick
To know what make you tick
To nurse you when you´re sick
The wheel is spinning too
Fast to make your move
The worst must be assumed
Oh how they´ll try to pull and pry
Away what you know now
Beat and beat it out
Leave a drum that makes no sound
A snuff film on a jumbotron
For all the world to see
A cocktail napkin epitaph
Some psycho babel telegram
Message written in the sand
The tide rolls in
Swear you´ll do the opposite
Of all those tangled hypocrites
Who say that the experiment has failed
Don´t go there
You´re getting nowhere
You´re getting nowhere
Stay a while my inner child
I´d like to learn your tricks
Know what makes you tick
Nurse you when you´re sick
Oh how you´ve grown so cynical
Hard lines carved in your face
The sunshine´s so cliche
Just like love and pain
You tried your best the rorschach test
But there´s just nothing to see
Heard terabytes of perfect pitch
Some universal elegance
Stack the seventh and the fifth
Along the bridge
Swear you´ll be the opposite
Of all the stilted hypocrites
You know what made you infamous to them
Don´t you

Keep starting over
Hold on tight beginner´s mind
The currents far too strong

Till you´re just like everyone
Stay a while my inner child
