Lava Lamp - Jacob Lynn

am i deafer than before?
i guess i am but not much more
and i wait for you to call me
the sun is all that's left to me
and you and i'll forever be
in the fields of human folly
float around in liquid blue
we'll come together one from two
and run on down the mountain
baskets full of cheese and wine
you bring yours and i bring mine
and frolic in your fountain

there's no genie in a lava lamp
no easy answers in its glow
we feel maybe something's not quite right
but who will ever know?

i look into your eyes and see
a part of you that looks like me
and i'm sorry 'bout your trouble
metronomic progressions
they gives me signals to come in
but all your signals are muddled
a crooked smile, a weighty glance
my third day wearing these same pants
is she thinkin what i'm thinkin?
we're lookin at a lamp of green
bubbles should be floating free
but everything is sinking

Undulating oil blob
Relic of the flower mob
A tacky piece of bric-a-brac
We felt a void
We brought you back
Lava lamp
Oh lava lamp
40-watt orb at swinger’s camp

Chorus:
I see the colors
I know the way
I found Enlightment
Floating at bay

Jelly art within a glass tomb
A nice addition to the room
A featured role in a lounge act
We felt a void
We brought you back
Lava lamp
Oh lava lamp
A dusted off hipster revamp

Chorus:
I see the colors
I know the way
I found the answers
Drifting soufflé

Safe, non-toxic quicksilver
Gelatinous mass aquiver
Magic 8-Ball
No don’t you crack
We felt a void
We brought you back
Lava lamp
Oh lava lamp
A one-trick pony Swami tramp

Chorus:
I see the colors
I know the way
Atmospheric reason
