{section: Chorus 1}
Everybody got mixed feelings
About the function and the form.
Everybody got to elevate from the norm.
{section: Verse 2}
An ounce of perception,
A pound of obscure.
Process information at half speed.
Pause, rewind, replay,
Warm memory chip,
Random sample, hold the one you need.
{section: Bridge}
{section: Prechorus 2}
Leave out the fiction,
The fact is, this friction
Will only be won by persistence.
Leave out conditions,
Courageous convictions
Will drag the dream into existence.
{section: Chorus 2}
A tired mind become a shape shifter,
Everybody need a soft filter,
Everybody need reverse polarity.
Everybody got mixed feelings
About the function and the form.
Everybody got to elevate from the norm...
{section: Outro}
Everybody got mixed feelings
Everybody got to elevate from the norm - [repeat till fade]
[NOTE - I know there are some other words instead 'elevate'
in this last repeating verse but I don't have time to find them ;P]
