Assembly Of Dust - Fountain lyrics

I am not like those before me standing in a suit

Now I face what stands before me

And I'm singin' and I'm searchin'

Singin' and I'm searchin' for the truth

Once a man had two things that he cherished

He was certain 'bout his job and 'bout his wife

Because there's nothing ever certain in this life

Once I came across a fountain

Made three wishes, touched a dream

Like a thought turnin' me over

Inspiration's spinning me

Around and around and around and around I go

And I wonder if I'm trippin' on my words

And if I'm stumblin' on my goals

Maybe it's for me to determine

Maybe I am like a book on a shelf

Read me once and tell me how I end

Because I'm singin' and I'm searchin'

Singin' and I'm searchin' for myself

You can ask me what is it your sayin'

Who are you and what you tryin' to be

I'd like to be a cowboy in the movies

Smilin' at the people, I'd be smilin' at the people that I see

So many things I stand to gain

So many things that I have known I stand to lose
