I wonder if any present day artistic painters

started out by doing store-bought paint-by-numbers?

Growing UP

Folded in your fleshy purse

I am floating once again

While the muted sounds are pumping rhythm

All the walls close in on me

Pressure's building wave on wave

Till the water breaks - and outside I go, oh

One dot, that's on or off, defines what is and what is not, one dot

Two dot, a pair of eyes, a voice, a touch, complete surprise, two dot

Growing up, growing up,

Looking for a place to live

Growing up, growing up,

Looking for a place to live

Growing up, growing up,

Looking for a place to live

My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown

My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space

Three dot, a trinity, a way to map the universe

Three dot

Four dot, is what will make a square, a bed to build on, it's all there,

Four dot

My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown

My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space

All the slow clouds pass us by

Make the Empire State look high

As you take me in your sea-stained sweetness

It spills, it tingles and it stings

All the pleasure that it brings

'Til the door has let the inside here

Well on the floor there's a long wooden table

On the table there's an open book

On the page there's a detailed drawing

And on the drawing is the name I took

My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown

My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space

Growing up, growing up,

Looking for a place to live

Growing up, growing up,

Looking for a place to live

Growing up, growing up,

Looking for a place to live

Growing up, growing up,

Looking for a place to live

My ghost likes to travel

My ghost likes to travel

Moving inside of your space

My ghost likes to travel

My ghost likes to travel

Moving inside of your space

My ghost likes to travel

Moving inside

My ghost likes to travel

Moving inside of your space

My ghost likes to travel

Moving inside

My ghost likes to travel

Moving inside of your space

The breathing stops, I don't know when

In transition once again

Such a struggle getting through these changes

And it all seems so absurd

To be flying like a bird

When I do not feel I've really landed here.

Since July 4th, 1776

It's Independence Day for the US of A! Since 1776, we have been free and sovereign citizens! Let's keep it that way!

What? Me worry?
