The Mind & the Matter Lyrics by Trace of Lime

Lost in the Zoo

2017

Oh mama I wanna be in a rock and roll band but not like the kings of the radio
I mean that real deal, baby
That seeps into my bones
I see too many puppets hung up by their strings for the show, but that’s not how it goes
So I hear you wanna be a real man, boy
Well there’s some things you outta know
They’re gonna try and tell you that you gotta hold her down to keep a float and the different are below you
Well there’s all these different people
But they look the same to me
Grasping at a reason out of reach so desperately and still trapped inside the age where man’s his greatest enemy
But it doesn’t have to be this way
Just know that it doesn’t have to be this way
You know I’ve got a lot on my mind
That I’m trying hard to lay down and spread out so this time I don’t drown myself but let’s forget all our troubles tonight and we can have ourselves a good time
We all wanna have a good time
I hope you find yourself satisfied
Today’s the final day you’re gonna be alive
Sell your time to make your money but there’ll never be enough
You only got so much so you better live it up while you can live it up
