The brilliance of my fleeting mind 
Chimes like voices in foreign caves 
It chimes in time - takes me where I'm going 
Alone my fleeting mind is knowing 
Believe it when I pin it down 
And that's not hard to forget 
With my hands upon my knees

You will steal from my fleeting mind 
Remember all our words they are just smoke rings in the rain: 
That's just a poem in brilliant places 
But poets, they are too grim 
They steal like party thieves from crowded rooms 
To rhyme their homes with better places

The brilliance of their minds 
Will seek with never knowing 
Alone my fleeting mind is knowing 
Believe it when I pin it down 
And that's not hard to forget 
With my thought like sifting leaves 
I believe in my fleeting mind

The brilliance of their minds 
Will seek with never knowing 
Alone my fleeting mind is knowing 
Believe it when I pin it down 
And that's not hard to forget 
With my thought like sifting leaves 
I believe in my fleeting mind
