about

Originally worked up as a live jam and slowly became a song.

lyrics

“Vital”
(c) 1998Heisner, BMI
 
You can feed your head
  Till you’ve got stretch marks on your brain
Open up your mind
  Like a sail to the winds of change
 
Getting lost in the clouds
  As you look for the sky
Till you can't see the sun
  For the daylight in your eyes
 
Chorus:
Like a foreign film with the wrong subtitles
A life of practice for a missed recital
There's a hint of something lost but vital
 
Shrink your kingdom down
  To a pinhead size domain
Throw at all away
  Like a sneeze in a hurricane
 
It's the choices you make
  That keep stripping the gears
It's the hope that you fake
  As your tripping through your fears
 
(Repeat Chorus)
 
You can feel your age
  Like a pebble in your shoe
Or shrinking cage
  In a disappearing zoo
 
It's a fading mirage
  Like a ghost from the past
It's the wilted corsage
  For the girl you never asked
 
(Repeat Chorus)
