Only Until
(Gary Paul Holmes)
1. Only Until
Story:
I have concluded that only until opening up to the possibility of failure, there is no probability of success. Are we living our own dreams, or the dreams that someone else has in mind?
Lyrics:
Was it just an empty promise
all I want to do?
Sell my soul till I retire
for the benefit of who?
Be mentally homeless
talk about coffee all your life
fit the norms and find a job
and a husband or a wife
Only Until
until they say they let me
You know that doubt is a monster, kills self
until they say I'm ready
trust and common sense
until they say the law says
all the care you spend on worry loss of
until they say
force and competence
until they say
the style comes
until they say
it's fashion
until they say
the world turns
until they say
Only until
until they pay me for all I want to do
all joy thought worthless unless it pays well too
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
yeah
Words straight from the heart don't necessarily come out love songs, though
radio says they do. Dance with the brain dead now.
Flora at the park stays after dark in the night time. She wants to start a
business, and, run some errands every day, daily in the day time--day time
day time, day time.
