head/heart/head/heart

Here is my head, and here is my heart Where one ends the other starts Sinewy tissues, pumping together Bleeding life through hardened leather Still looking for a key around here That unlocks this fleshy jail I want to surf this mortal coil one more time before I have to bail And I'll keep writing down my dreams I need to find out what they mean Tend the zen garden in my brain It's getting harder to maintain Here is my head, and here is my heart Why try so hard to peel them apart? You think that you know just the way that you work Your machinery's cold and momentarily jerks Searching for words right, wherever they are Forcing and pulsing, they aren't very far Still looking for a rope around here that can fasten and subdue Here's hoping I don't hang myself Pulling boy scout knots on through And I'll keep writing down my dreams I need to find out what they mean Tend the zen garden in my brain It's getting harder to maintain
