He Thinks Like Birds

LYRICS

Take a look at me now
Look at me now
What do you see?
What do you see?

Pathetic me pathetic me
Take a look at me now

The summers last too long
Look at these fragile bones
Pathetic me pathetic me
Sympathetic Me

Is there light? 
Is there a light?

Take a look at me now
Look at me now
What do you see?
What do you see?

Take a look at me now
Look at me now
Oh what do you see?

Pathetic me pathetic me
Sympathetic Me

Fragile bones
Is there a light?
Is there the light?
Is there a light?
Is there a light?
I can tell you that there is 

Take a look at me now 
Look at me now 
Oh what do you see?
What do you see?

Sympathetic Me

Pathetic me pathetic me 
Sympathetic Me

Take a look at me now
What do you see?
Sympathetic Me

I won’t need your pity for long
I’m gonna turn this boat around 
Take a look at me now 
Look at me now 
What do you see ?

There is a light
There is a light

——-
A song of mental conflict.  Just when you thought you had control you lost it

Sympathetic Me

I am sublimed upon this pavement
my feet r wax today
and I'm waitin' on the sun to set
and the moon to wane again
O forget this heat
reset the beat...bang bang
I got gritty in the city
now it's pop pop - pop
and I'm blistering as I'm slipping
a sublimated change
yea
as a puddle upon this pavement
I reflect what I might say
but the phrases and the changes
leaves words floatin' away
my drip into the abyss...
has me staring...balled up fists
but I am sublimed
tortured grape...shriveled on the vine
yea drink me...set me loose
O bang bang bang...now it's pop pop
I go on blisterin'
and I'm not whimperin' ...for, 
I am sublimed upon this pavement
my feet r wax today
and I'm waitin' on the sun to set
and the moon to wane again

My Feet R Wax Today

Away in a Manger
The Christmas song "Away in a Manger", composed by William James Kirkpatrick in 1895, is very popular in England and is also very well known internationally. Andreas Ludwig Schulte initially lets the melody sound through the woodwind in this arrangement. The brass perform the second pass. The piece ends in a festive tutti.
