I belong bodily to the earth
I'm just wearing old bones from those that came first
I’ve been unraveling since my birth
Gonna wander out there and see what I'm worth
Every sentence in my head, someone else has said.

So you got caught with a flat, well, how about that?
Well, babies, don't you panic.
By the light of the night, it'll all seem alright.

He's a poet, he's a picker,
He's a prophet, he's a pusher,
He's a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he's stoned.
He's a walking contradiction,
Partly truth and partly fiction,
Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home.

While the earth sinks to its grave
You sail to the sky
On the crest of a wave
Every sentence in my head, someone else has said.

I think this might be my favorite lyric in all of pop/rock music.

I really don't know what my all-time favorite lyric is. Never really thought about it? The closing line of Acid Bath's "Venus Blue" comes to mind...maybe: I know the pale thing in the darkest of places

Impossible thing to choose, I suppose.

There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
My pictures of you
