Here are the correct lyrics to this brilliant song:
Sphagnum Esplanade
sphag·num (sf?g'n?m)
n. Any of various pale or ashy mosses of the genus Sphagnum, the decomposed remains of which form peat.
es·pla·nade (?s'pl?-näd', -n?d')
n. A flat open stretch of pavement or grass, especially one designed as a promenade along a shore.
How lovely i find what's entered my mind along this mossy trail
how coyly it hides the truth about how it is we can't ask how
crowds jump to their deaths from the bridges i drive by tonight
they miss out on it all, the whole gist there as they fall
you're not expected to know why in such a short time
and there are stanzas never meant to rhyme
Far better i find it is when we try to span the weird divide
with no real rationale we step out of bounds and think
and escape their lie
We've marched so long and we've much farther than we've gone to go
we'll make a new ship and christen it for the trip with a toddler at the helm this time
and there are things we never will define
crowds jump to their deaths from the bridges i drive by tonight
they missed out on it all, the whole gist there as they fall
you're not expected to know why in such a short time
and there are things we never will define
