You Mean Everything To Me

Ten cigarettes left and 10am
Trying to escape my prison in the pig pen
Spent 2 years talking about Japanese Zen
This is me now, that was back then

I've been talking to this girl
She's so cute she's a ten
This is me right now, not back then

When I was young 8, 9, maybe 10
I went fishing in Yardley in the canal way back when
It was all so easy, so breezy, so pure and so free
Now I've got nothing to be
But you mean everything to me

I've got six cigarettes left in the pack at 6pm
Running around trying to get out of the pig pen
Spent 2 years learning about the art of empty Zen
I could throw it all away... This is me now, that was back then

Oh miss lonely, you're so pretty when you're sad
Please don't get mad
This is me now, not back then

When I was real young maybe 9 maybe 10
I went fishing in Yardley in the canal way back when
It was all so easy, so breezy, so pure and so free
Now I've got nothing to be
But you mean everything to me

Now I've quit and I've relapsed five times like a charm
Running around like a farmhand 'round an old burning barn 'round an old burning
It's the Bhuddist Doctrine of Emptiness
It can't do me no harm
Everything is connected like the dirt on a farm

She's so tired and lovely she's twisting my arm
This is me right now, there's no cause for alarm

When I was young maybe 9 maybe 10
I played soccer in the rain, quite insane, way back when
It was all so easy, so simple, so beautiful and free
Now I've got nothing to be
But you mean everything to me

It was all so easy, so simple, so beautiful and free
Now I've got nothing to be
But you mean everything to me
