Helplessness Blues - Solstice Version

[00:07.15] I was raised up believing
[00:11.64] I was somehow unique
[00:15.81] Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes
[00:21.03] Unique in each way you can see
[00:24.46] But now I do some thinking
[00:28.85] I'd say I'd rather be
[00:33.75] A functioning cog in some great machinery
[00:38.60] Serving something beyond me
[00:42.06] But I don't, I don't know what that will be
[00:51.00] I'll get back to you someday soon, you will see
[01:00.01]
[01:06.19] What's my name? What's my station?
[01:10.87] Oh, just tell me what I should do
[01:15.49] I don't need to be kind to the armies of night
[01:20.48] That would do such injustice to you
[01:24.42] Or bow down and be grateful
[01:28.92] And say "Sure, take all that you see"
[01:33.57] To the men who move only in dimly-lit halls
[01:38.86] And determine my future for me
[01:42.74] But I don't, I don't know who to believe
[01:52.36] I'll get back to you someday soon, you will see
[02:01.03]
[02:07.81] If I know only one thing
[02:11.96] It's that every thing that I see
[02:16.48] Of the world outside is so inconceivable
[02:22.56] Often, I barely can speak
[02:26.05] Yeah, I'm tongue tied and dizzy
[02:29.94] And I can't keep it to myself
[02:34.95] What good is it to sing helplessness blues?
[02:39.61] Why should I wait for anyone else?
[02:43.68] And I know, I know you will keep me on the shelf
[02:52.74] I'll come back to you someday soon myself
[03:02.71]
[03:10.89] If I had an orchard
[03:17.23] I'd work 'til I'm raw
[03:23.58] If I had an orchard
[03:26.31] I'd work 'til I'm sore
[03:33.46] And I could wait tables
[03:35.55] While you ran the store
[03:41.96] Gold hair in the sunlight
[03:48.52] My light in the dawn
[03:55.05] If I had an orchard
[03:58.23] I'd work 'til I'm sore
[04:04.52] If I had an orchard
[04:07.74] I'd work 'til I'm sore
[04:14.80] Ooh
[04:20.80] Ooh
[04:27.41] Ooh
[04:37.22] Someday I'll be
[04:39.63] Like the man on the screen
[04:42.89]
