Joy

Bliss is simply what I want
I’m not doing but I’m done
Change the way you look at things and it all falls in place

Dig two graves or forgiveness
I choose peace instead of this
You go on about nothin’ while you’re missin’ what there is

Es no sobre “getting”
Es sobre “letting”*
I take my Joy straight up every day

Milkshake
Chocolate covered heartache
Dig my own religion,
Live like a magician
Take my mind from noisy
To what I find rosy
It’s none of my business
What you think so…
I take my Joy straight up every day

I walk down a different street
Do not go right back to sleep
I’m your violet incense; I’ve learned I can’t make grass grow

I know, like I know
Like I know, like I know that
I take my Joy straight up every day

Don’t die with music still in you
Inside my mind God is blue
When I’m 500 years old, I’ll still be thanking you

Open to everything
Attached to nothing

I take my Joy straight up every day

*Spanish translation: “It’s not about getting, It’s about letting”
