The Eightfold Path

It's not what I hoped wouldn't happen It's what happened I hoped wouldn't be Just when I get a new notion It turns on me Maybe we should just try to be And let things change Self-centred on the Eightfold Path The road up and the road down are one and the same It's the shadow of love I'm try'na chase I'm losing when the sun goes down A dip in the ocean or a splash in the face You either drip or you drown I'm try'na measure the distance I'm gonna fill the space Self-centred on the Eightfold Path The road up and the road down are one and the same But all I want want all I want There's nothing that can touch me And all you bring bring all you bring The evidence of nothing Time time easier in time Too easy too late Self-centred on the Eightfold Path The road up and the road down The road up and the road down The road up and the road down Are one and the same Are one and the same Are one and the same The same the same
