People Have A Way

People have this way of knowing everything

They take one short look and then move on

If you ever wanted anything

Then you have to disagree.

Make some time with the fire's coals

Who really knows if it isn't coal?

I am hardly shcoked to learn it's everywhere

I read two short words and then passed out.

If you ever needed anything

It's got to be more we can see

Like a silver glow after sleepless nights

In the melting dark with the losing light

Making shapes with the praying eyes

Don't ever be that terrified.

Remember when we closed our eyes behind hotels

You spoke three short word and then went down

And if you ever needed anyone

All that's left is to agree

Til the meadow shakes and the tall grass hums

Til the first light breaks and morning comes

There's no way around that you're getting down

We can take everything we've found

There's no way we can lose

When we're proving simple proofs

It's the best thing we can do

While the light is coming through
