Ritual Life
Words and Music: Eric Kampman
Appears on Everything Is Different Now
 
Too much TV, not enough feedback
Where's the resistance against gravity?
Mindless idle worship stop
End this submission, end this apathy

Counting down the hours is a little frightening
So he needs a few distractions while he's waiting to die
Understands the world and has his point of view
So he's watching tonight's attractions while the angels fly by

Father pacified with nought
Fear of the humdrum, fear of life itself
Mother comfort in a dream
Looking for nothing, finding all she needs

Counting down the hours is a little frightening
So they need a few distractions while they're waiting to die
Understand the world and have their point of view
So they're watching tonight's attractions while the angels fly by

Is the real world not enough?
   Is it too much?
Do the children play too rough?
   Please don't touch
Is the real world not enough?
   Is it too much?
Do the children play too rough?
   Please don't touch

Are you looking for a sign?
   It's about time
Coming down the cable line
   Start that climb
Are you looking for a sign?
   It's about time
Coming down the cable line

Counting down the hours is a little frightening
So he needs a few distractions while he's waiting to die
Understands the world and has his point of view
So he's watching tonight's attractions while the angels fly by
