I've got a farm house,
|
It's a big white farmhouse
|
And forty acres in my head
|
You got a kitchen,
|
It's an oak floor kitchen
|
And a big brass feather bed
|
And there in the parlor,
|
An old upright piano
|
And a precocious blue-eyed kid
|
Playing the keys
|
Playing the keys
|
|
Live in the now
|
A room with a view of Cambridge
|
Live in the now
|
Traffic, noise, and neighborhood kids
|
We're sitting in the kitchen
|
You reach cross the table
|
And put a finger on my wrinkled brow
|
You say, "Live in the now,
|
Live in the now"
|
|
|
'Cause life is what happens
|
When you're busy making plans
|
That's what John Lennon said
|
Then he quit the phuckin' band
|
|
|
Tell me which part
|
Is it the castle, or the sand
|
That you miss when the tide comes along?
|
|
|
I'm alone on a highway
|
Only silos break the view
|
A field of sunflowers
|
A scarecrow paying dues
|
And I think to myself
|
"Man, that's not what I'd choose "
|
But here I am, and look where I've gone
|
All for the song
|
Till the tide comes along
|
|
|
Live in the now
|
An audience is waiting
|
Live in the now
|
Whose day are you creating?
|
I slip into to the hotel
|
I put the phone on a pillow
|
Your voice makes it better somehow
|
You say, "Live in the now"
|
"Live in the now"
|
