Hold on tight beginners mind
The wheel is spinning too
Fast to make your move
The worst must be assumed
Oh how they'll try to pull and pry
Away what you know now
Beat and beat it out
Leave a drum that makes no soundA snuff film on a jumbotron
For all the world to seeA cocktail napkin epitaph
Some psycho babel telegram
Message written in the sand
The tide rolls inSwear you'll do the opposite
Of all those tangled hypocrites
Who say that the experiment has failed
Don't go there
You're getting nowhere
You're getting nowhereStay a while my inner child
I'd like to learn your tricks
To know what makes you tick
To nurse you when you're sick
Oh, how you've grown so cynical
Hard lines carved in your face
The sunshine's so cliche
Just like love and painYou tried your best on the Rorschach test
But there's just nothing to seeHeard terabytes of a perfect pitch
Some universal elegance
Stack the seventh and the fifth
Along the gridSwear you'll be the opposite
Of all the stilted hypocrites
You know what made you infamous to them, don't you
You keep starting over
You keep starting over
You keep starting over
You keep starting over
You keep starting over
You keep starting overHold on tight beginner's mind
The currents far too strong
It'll carry you along
'Til you're just like everyoneStay a while my inner child
I'd like to learn your trick
To know what makes you tick
To nurse you when you're sick
