[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Turn a card, turn a page
The action sure to start
Second-stage reaction
To illogical thoughts on random lines –
In a Borges dream we move toward
The writing of lives
[Verse 2]
Leave it out, leave it in, no edits –
With a shout, with a grin I said
It was a certainty that I'd arrive
In an Escher sketch
We walk around the drawing of lines
[Bridge 1]
The character uncertainty
As he contemplates his lot
And tries to move with urgency
Though he's rooted to the spot
[Verse 3]
On the brink, on the edge
But lately what I think
What I said escapes me
In a flash, a tiger burning bright –
Does the visionary trance obscure
The burgeoning night?
[Verse 1]
Turn a card, turn a page
The action sure to start
Second-stage reaction
To illogical thoughts on random lines –
In a Borges dream we move toward
The writing of lives
[Verse 2]
Leave it out, leave it in, no edits –
With a shout, with a grin I said
It was a certainty that I'd arrive
In an Escher sketch
We walk around the drawing of lines
[Bridge 1]
The character uncertainty
As he contemplates his lot
And tries to move with urgency
Though he's rooted to the spot
[Verse 3]
On the brink, on the edge
But lately what I think
What I said escapes me
In a flash, a tiger burning bright –
Does the visionary trance obscure
The burgeoning night?
