Spiritual Lyrics

Practicing

What are you reading now? She said to me

Not much of anything, just mysteries

I've done my studying for thirty years

After too long a time one thing is clear


Now is the time of my life for practicing

How else will I ever get back home?


I practice on express lines 12 items or less

When they sneak 13 through I'm learning to bless

I practice out on the road where the lunatics are

When I want to explode, I just say "nice car‚


Now is the time of my life for practicing

How else will I ever get back home?


Reading alone will not open your heart 

To open your heart you must start practicing


I practice on myself learning to laugh

When grandiosity cuts me in half

I practice so that I won't fall back asleep

And dream of a world filled with victims and creeps


Now is the time of my life for practicing

How else will I ever get back home?
