There are some things I must never reveal About the way I think and what I feel Keep the surface smooth, calm, and cool Eyes as deep and blue as a swimming pool And I can bet with certainty No interference will get through to me Like a picture that's been painted And is hanging on the wall And admired but untouchable Reflection, a vision of nowness A vision of now To know (know) the world (world) complex and wide To be temperamentally tranquilized I'll put (you) you on, but (but) envy none Will break you with care to stay free of want I am a curiosity (ahh) Notorious, you'll never get what they see (I'll never get what you see) Like a picture that's been painted And is hanging on the wall And admired but untouchable Reflection, a vision of nowness (ahh, ahh, nowness) A vision of nowness A vision of nowness A vision of now A vision of now A vision of now A vision of now!
