Ubik

The living here's ubiquitous Almost like you never left Need some help with getting home Can't take the hand of someone that is gone Guiding me down chapel street Past flower beds and bites to eat Clever pennies and careful pounds They take no mind when they put you in the ground And we'll go down Never frown Again Turned upside down Rest and smile My friend The future happened somewhere else Different stories on different shelves All those worlds in parallel Still couldn't keep you from your private hell Go 'ed and cut your fingers off Or bite your tongue to spite your mouth We'll make mounds of mountains here Where life's as wide as a sympathetic ear Nothing really matters here Cos we've got flowers that bloom all year Not to worry never fear That's just the way it happens around here Laying traps for birds of prey Just to get through another day Not much for a quiet life Just keep the wreckage wrapped inside a smile And we'll go down Never frown Again Turned upside down Rest and smile My friend Climbing down out of their nests Stare out to sea and wish they'd never left Suppose we're only human too A tiny speck in eternity's last breath
