Clint Eastwood
Trey Anastasio Lyrics

I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I'm not ecstatic, but I'm content

I got sunshine in a bag
I have everything I need to be happy within me

I'm useless, but not for long
I might not have purpose at the moment, but soon I will

The future is coming on
I have high hopes for my future

Finally, someone let me out of my cage!
I have been feeling trapped and now I am free

Now, time for me is nothing cause I'm counting no age!
I feel timeless and ageless

Nah, I couldn't be there, now you shouldn't be scared
I wasn't able to be there before, but now you have nothing to fear

I'm good at repairs, and I'm under each snare
I am skilled at fixing problems and I am ready for anything that comes my way

Intangible, bet you didn't think so I command you to
I might seem intangible, but I'm in control and I'm telling you what's what

Panoramic view, look, I'll make it all manageable
I have a big-picture perspective and I can handle anything

Pick and choose, sit and lose, all you different crews. Chicks and dudes, who you think is really kicking tunes?
There are many options in life, but only a select few are truly successful

Picture you getting down in a picture tube. Like you lit the fuse, you think it's fictional? Mystical? Maybe, spiritual
Imagining yourself in a virtual reality, feeling in control of your fate. It may seem extraordinary, but it's possible

Hero who appears in you to clear your view when you're too crazy
An inner strength that emerges to help you when you feel overwhelmed and lost

Lifeless to know the definition for what life is
To feel numb and disconnected from the meaning of life

Priceless because I put you on the hype sh*t
Valuable because I've given you access to something exciting and trendy

You like it? Gunsmokin', righteous with one toke. Psychic among those, possess you with one go
You enjoy it? It's powerful and righteous, like taking a hit of a potent substance. It has the ability to control you in just one dose

The essence, the basics, without it, you make it. Allow me to make this, childlike in nature
The foundation of life is simple, and without it, life is hard. Let me explain it in a way that's easy to understand

Rhythm, you have it or you don't that's a fallacy
It's a misconception that rhythm is something you're born with or without

I'm in them, every sprouting tree, every child o' peace. Every cloud and sea, you see with your eyes
I'm a part of nature and innocence. Everything in the world is connected and interdependent

I see destruction and demise, corruption in disguise. From this fucking enterprise, now I'm sucked into your lies
I see the negative effects of greed and deceit. I unwittingly became involved in it

Through Russel, not his muscles, but the percussion he provides. With me as a guide, y'all can see me now cause you don't see with your eyes. You perceive with your mind
Through music, not physical strength, I can guide you to see the world differently. Your mind is what helps you see things differently, not just your eyes

So I'ma stick around with Russ and be a mentor
I'm going to stay with my musician friend and provide guidance

Bust a few rhymes so motherfuckers remember
Perform some rap lyrics that will stick in people's minds

Where the thought is, I brought all this. So you can survive when law is lawless
I brought all of these ideas, so that you can thrive even in a chaotic world

Feelings, sensations that you thought was dead. No squealing, remember: that it's all in your head
Emotions and physical senses that you thought were gone can come back. Don't complain or make a fuss, remember that it's all coming from within your own mind

My future is coming on
I'm excited about what's coming in my future
