The Lost Years - David Wilcox
From Unreleased .............................................. So Mister Einstein, what'd you do then? 'Cause there's a hole in your resume after 1910 You were a brilliant man when you were 23 But then you sat in your pajamas and you watched tv In the lost years when your life stalls out You start sinking in the weight of doubt Lost your vision, got no faith And stoped moving in the human race Stuck in the suck-muck, sick with fear Still sinking in the lost years This aint' no Kodak moment These times are best forgotten This is the part you'll be ashamed of This is the prozac tunnel This is the Rip Van Winkle This is the embryo you came from So Mister Einstein, Mister Prodigy You know the pride that you stand on works like a water ski Yeah, the motion of the ocean made you stand up straight But now your tow boat's stalled and you're only shark bait Chorus Look, your soul said something's missing But you would never listen It gave you signals but you missed 'em So this is the desperate measure This is the hidden treasure This is like a strike against the system See it's your last chance but you might find out In the ocean of the dark and doubt Past the panic, through the tears The sharp shackle of the phantom fears Gives up it's death grip and disappears Still sinking in the lost years .............................................. ©1995 Midnight Ocean Bonfire Music/Nine-Ten Music, A division of Soroka Music Ltd.
