lyrics

I'm working on my nerves
Trying to find the courage and trying to speak up
I'm working on the words
To say just what exactly I've been thinking for months

And I know it won't be simple or
make a whole lot of sense
But I've come to this conclusion and am asking for support

They say it's all a lie and we're waiting to be
Guided by the light and inevitably
Plucked up from the Earth into a higher plane
I know I know it sounds insane

Late one evening on a trip to Tallahassee
It was for work and I was bored out of my mind
I saw a flyer filled with colors on a lamp post
Advertising smooth jazz music and free wine

Captivated I walked over and put my name down
Listened to some tunes and made some friends
And at the end out walked a man in mismatched sandals
The finest thing I'd ever seen on two legs

He took my hand and he stared into
My eyes so longingly
He told me I could be one of the saviors of humanity

I tell you it's a lie and we're waiting to be
Guided by the light and inevitably
Plucked up from the earth into a higher plane
Can you really be sure we're all insane?

Please don't call it a cult
Please don't insult
My intelligence
I'm still the same
Person you knew before
Please don't try to dissuade me
I'm telling you my mind's made
I've already donated large sums of money to this cause.
