Bruce Cockburn You Get Bigger As You Go Lyrics

You Get Bigger As You Go Lyrics

So I find out what the luxury of hate is

As exciting maybe as doing the
dishes

Face toward window -- light received

You walk away to see a
film

See some people see a man

Stab in throat twist in gut all too
clear

Not too new -- all been done before

Planet breathes
exhaustion

Staggers on

Wnemy anger impotent gun grease

Too
many thoughts

Too dogshit tired

One small step for freedom

From foregone conclusion 



You get bigger as you go

No one
told me -- I just know

Bales of memory like boats in tow

You get
bigger as you go 



You get bigger as you go

Spent all day
afraid to talk

Redneck children laugh out loud

I being target live
and walk 



You get bigger as you go

Telephone snarls "don't
touch me"

You move in waves like the midnight blues

You vector of
this weird dis-ease 



You get bigger as you go

News reruns --
dawn comes rainbow

Pain takes shape of grimy window

You get bigger
as you go
