Sweet sounds and tokens of rapture Your arm is outstretched to capture me But my world ends in confusion Every time I try to live my illusion So no more of playing your game, man When it's you that has me in chains Over and over again till I find I'm half of me and I'm half my mind's eye Fill my imagination quota Quota Strung out and stopping to wonder Why I've been pulled out from under me (under me) I'm so tired of reachin' for higher ground When each time I'm caught in the shakedown Too numb to spur what I feel in my heart Before my feelings begin to depart I fill my imagination quota Quota You know it There's nothing more defeating Than your values while they're fleeting Like the time before your eyes Never really certain If it's just another hurdle Or a blessing in disguise I'm lost forever it seems In shreds of luminous dreams Wasting my time on a timeless impression Headed for nowhere, a one-way direction To fill my imagination quota Quota
