I'm so alive I'm so enlightened** I can barely survive A night in my
mind So I've got a plan I'm gonna find out just how boring I am And
have a good time 'Cause ever since I tried?, trying not to find Every
little meaning in my life It's been fine, I've been cool With my new
golden rule
Now it's the new deep Down with the old me Talk is the
same cheap It's been
Is there a guy Why is he waiting Don't you
figure it out When he knows my address And look at the stars Don't
they remind you Just how feeble we are Well it used to I guess 'Cause
ever since I tried, trying not to find Every little meaning in my
life It's been fine, I've been cool With my new golden rule
Now
it's the new deep Down with the old me Talk is the same cheap It's
been
I'm a new man I wear a new cologne And you wouldn't know
me If your eyes were closed I know what you'd say This will last
longer than the rest of the day But you're wrong this time You're
wrong
Now it's the new deep Down with the old me I'm over the
analyzing tonight Stop trying to figure it out (you try to figure, you
try to figure it out) It will only bring you down You know I used to be
the backporch poet with my book of lines always open No and all the time I'm
trying* Never gonna find the perfect rhyme For heavier things
