Now We Stand Lost                                      10-10-2000 

now we stand lost with our head in the clouds 

going nowhere fast and going down without knowing how 

thought we knew who we were it turned out we do 

but there's so much more it seems also we're in need of towels 

everywhere there is to see nothing has come unto me 

standing alone tall inside a camel's eye with glass shard mysteries 

never knew which way to go but now it seems that's already been taken
care of 

reach out for instant salvation but the man sinks in an ocean of tears 

thought we knew who we were yet we did just not really 

every time I turn to see there is nothing that I haven't seen before 

yet somehow its all new and somehow its worthy of death 

the only thing I know for sure is I've been here before 

and yet somehow somewhere there is a place that counterbalances this 

thought we were going there and why aren't we there now 

how come we knew ourselves bet yet not as fully as to see us naked 

always always covering ourselves hiding ourselves not wanting to drop
the illusion 

yet now here we are standing lost in the middle of a rainbow 

nowhere to turn too nowhere to run we've only a place in the shadow of
the sun 

how do we really know we've got things correct and in order 

confusion sets in and sinks us into a corpus sinew of spydery floss 

everything we stood for and everything we fought has turned against look
what it has bought 

thought we knew what we were doing did we know anything at all my God
look at us all 

standing swaying in the winds of time looking for all cost's sake like a
ramble shack dime 

and I know as I go down I've lost it all we are going to be bound 

so now look at me don't forget because now we stand lost
