Impermanent Things (live on KCRW)

[00:27.07] All these impermanent things
[00:33.06] Oh, how they fool me
[00:35.37] Dominate and rule me
[00:38.87] They keep me waiting here forever
[00:44.23] All these impermanent things
[00:50.00] Well, their beauty's never aging
[00:52.43] But their worthlessness enraging
[00:55.30] You know they always stand alone
[00:58.32] When we're together
[01:02.03] So why keep hanging on
[01:08.04] To things that never stay
[01:13.34] Things that just keep stringing us along
[01:18.51] From day to day
[01:23.91]
[01:26.76] All these impermanent things
[01:31.98] Present yet elusive
[01:34.96] Compassive yet abusive
[01:37.99] Tearing out the heart in other's sides
[01:43.97] All these impermanent things
[01:49.75] Well, they point in all directions
[01:52.48] Like second-hand reflections
[01:55.44] And they're leading us to subtle shades of pies
[02:01.92] So why keep hanging on
[02:07.92] To things that never stay
[02:13.58] Things that just keep stringing us along
[02:18.57] From day to day
[02:22.63]
[02:38.64] All these impermanent things
[02:44.26] Point in all directions
[02:46.35] Like second-hand reflections
[02:50.14] And they're leading us to subtle shades of pies
[02:55.90] All these impermanent things
[03:01.66] Well, they all add up to zero
[03:04.41] Make believe that they're my hero
[03:07.67] And they fill my mind with doubt and false desires
[03:13.73] And why keep hanging on
[03:19.68] To things that never stay
[03:24.81] Things that just keep stringing us along
[03:30.14] From day to day
[03:52.62]
