about

this track is about my son david (6) who has cultivated the most elegant outlook on life i have ever encountered. atta boy.

lyrics

not nietzsche not marx not the hippy in the park
you're the one for me
not plato not locke not the teacher or the cop
you're the one for me
adams almost gets me there
but you're the one for me
when i get lost and i need a good talk
you're the one for me

you say life is just beautiful
and it only gets less so with each new word
life is just beautiful
goes the simple song of my favorite philosopher

not whitman not yeats not lenin for god's sake
you're the one for me
not the preacher on the street not dostoyevsky
you're the one for me
twain almost gets me there
but you're the one for me
when the stars come out, impossible to count
you're the one for me

(chorus)

why lots of the sages play with tragedy
why at all the default must be trajedy
why for some the answers come from tragedy
why don't they see what you see

not plato, descartes they can't find my heart
you're the one for me
bacon's too smart and satre's too dark
you're the one for me
partridge almost gets me there
but you're the one for me
standing in a crowd the silence so loud
you're the one for me

(chorus)
