Beginner's Mind Lyrics - Bright Eyes

Hold on tight beginners mind 

The wheel is spinning too 

Fast to make your move 

The worst must be assumed 

Oh how they'll try to pull and pry 

Away what you know now 

Beat and beat it out 

Leave a drum that makes no sound 

A snuff film on a jumbotron 

For all the world to see 

A cocktail napkin epitaph 

Some psycho babel telegram 

Message written in the sand 

The tide rolls in 

Swear you'll do the opposite 

Of all those tangled hypocrites 

Who say that the experiment has failed 

Don't go there 

You're getting nowhere 

You're getting nowhere 

Stay a while my inner child 

I'd like to learn your tricks 

To know what makes you tick 

To nurse you when you're sick 

Oh, how you've grown so cynical 

Hard lines carved in your face 

The sunshine's so cliche 

Just like love and pain 

You tried your best on the Rorschach test 

But there's just nothing to see 

Heard terabytes of a perfect pitch 

Some universal elegance 

Stack the seventh and the fifth 

Along the grid 

Swear you'll be the opposite 

Of all the stilted hypocrites 

You know what made you infamous to them, don't you 

You keep starting over 

You keep starting over 

You keep starting over 

You keep starting over 

You keep starting over 

You keep starting over 

Hold on tight beginner's mind 

The currents far too strong 

It'll carry you along 

'Til you're just like everyone 

Stay a while my inner child 

I'd like to learn your trick 

To know what makes you tick 

To nurse you when you're sick
