I'm so alive
  I'm so enlightened** I can barely survive
  A night in my mind
  So I've got a plan
  I'm gonna find out just how boring I am
  And have a good time
  'Cause ever since I tried?, trying not to find
  Every little meaning in my life
  It's been fine, I've been cool
  With my new golden rule
    Now it's the new deep
  Down with the old me
  Talk is the same cheap
  It's been
    Is there a guy
  Why is he waiting
  Don't you figure it out
  When he knows my address
  And look at the stars
  Don't they remind you
  Just how feeble we are
  Well it used to I guess
  'Cause ever since I tried, trying not to find
  Every little meaning in my life
  It's been fine, I've been cool
  With my new golden rule
    Now it's the new deep
  Down with the old me
  Talk is the same cheap
  It's been
    I'm a new man
  I wear a new cologne
  And you wouldn't know me
  If your eyes were closed
  I know what you'd say
  This will last longer than the rest of the day
  But you're wrong this time
  You're wrong
    Now it's the new deep
  Down with the old me
  I'm over the analyzing tonight
  Stop trying to figure it out
  (you try to figure, you try to figure it out)
  It will only bring you down
  You know I used to be the backporch poet with my book of lines always open
  No and all the time I'm trying*
  Never gonna find the perfect rhyme
  For heavier things
