Harpoon Song - written by Bow Thayer (Elbop Music SESAC) bowthayer.com
Poking my way out of the thickets and the briars
Thinning out the baggage, putting out the fires
In my mind there is an ocean, a fear of going higher
That simple task to syncopate the rhythms of desire
I have come here as a slave indentured to my soul
Cross flaming hills and battle kills and valleys down below
For every mile that I take, each second that I crawl
Each stone that I turn over, there's a reason to go on
Will we wise up, as we dumb us down
I thought I had it all mixed up, I realized I was wrong
Will we wise up, as we dumb us down
I'm counting on your good luck, I wish you were here now
I rely on patience, I know when to make a move
My beacon for coincidence has always got me through
And I'll oppose the opposition when all abandonment is lost
The frequencies inside of me they're starting to heat up
I'm going to fire my maid, burn down my mansion
Eradicate every fake state of pretension
I'll be rolling and rolling, rocks when I stop
Epitomize and pulverize and bury where I drop
Will we wise up, as we dumb us down
I thought I had it all mixed up, I realized I was wrong
Will we wise up, as we dumb us down
I'm counting on your good luck, I wish you were here now
Put the pedal to the medal, keep the flower in the barrel
Wear your horns with your halo and look out for the harrow
I got stones in my pockets, but they don't wear me down
I got feathers in my head but I never leave the ground
And it's a hard road to heaven built on nothing but thin air
And we take each step without a net and move it through nowhere
And there's a dark coalition, a ghost on a mission
I foresee a big collision, I guess the gods have all gone fishing
Will we wise up, as we dumb us down
I thought I had it all mixed up, I realized I was wrong
Will we wise up, as we dumb us down
I'm counting on your good luck, I wish you were here now
Will we wise up, as we dumb us down
I feel like Captain Ahab did just before he drown
Will we wise up, as we dumb us down
It's been a whale of a time, let that harpoon kill this song.
