Occupied

Your mind is occupied like a plane’s washroom
Absorbing all the dust and bugs like a vacuum
Got no space or time for some fresh air
Turn off the hum, undress your mind bare.

What ticket you got? We share the same fare.
Don’t you hate the stewardess’ fake care?
We could do better, oh, look at that cloud!
It looks like my dream! What’s yours? Oh, watch out!

Some guy just passed by, spilled your water all over
Hold on, I got napkins, don’t lose your composure
No need to be angry, be Zen, here’s a pamphlet
About Buddhism and how to regain your soul’s balance

Be happy, life’s beautiful, oh look at those birds!
I wish I had wings, don’t you? But of course!
When I was a kid I dreamt about flying
Now I’m a car dealer and I really like driving

You’re flying right now, silly, I’ll buy you a coffee
Look around you, folks sleeping, and one guy is coughing
But you look like you got a colourful dream
Let’s break the window and grab hold of the steam

After that we could work our way up
Grab onto that cloud and quack like a duck
After that maybe head down to the river
Flow on the stream of consciousness, be its mirror

The plane will be landing in Babylon soon
Make sure to have your seatbelts on, you baboons
Oh, this still on? Ha ha, I was joking
Don’t worry folks, enjoy your days croaking.

But I’m not a frog! I’m duck, I can quack!
Oh, shut up, you can’t, you’re falling off track!
Psst, don’t worry. Don’t listen to them.
Your path has been cleared, while they walk, you can run.
