The Life Pursuit

What do you do when hope is all but gone?

You need a brother to lean on

But your brother's gone

Your sister's in the wrong part of town

I took a walk to remember ecstasy

It's not today, not even yesterday

Songs of praise all very well

Their voices swell

They tug at sadness

Like love tugging at your sleeve

Is it worth the pain

To walk into the void again?

In your darkest hour he is the tiniest light

Light that's found beyond your present situation

And it's wide and it's broad, beyond all estimation

Is your belly fat, is your man a twat?

Do in-growing hairs provide you with strange fascination?

The highlight of your day is plucking all the roots away

You took a walk to remember ecstasy

It's not today, not even yesterday

In your darkest hour he is the tiniest light

The smallest of sparks

He's a tinderbox, he's a flaming torch

Pinch your self quite hard, in a place that hurts

If it doesn't work, ask your friend to comply

And if they hit the spot

You can let yourself cry

And when the teardrops stop, I will take you for a drive

I'll explain all I know about the spiritual side

Life that's found beyond your present situation

And it's wide and it's broad, beyond all estimation
