Standing in the shade of the tallest tree
Waiting for lightning to strike me
Listening for the loudest crash of thunder
Waiting for illumination
Waiting to burn
Walking in the savage garden
Picking a rose but only one
Walking and almost getting lost
Picking the road less traveled by
Picking my way through the bushes
Reaching for the sharpest knife
Wondering if it will hurt
Reaching out to the leper in the corner
Wondering if my immunity will hold
Wondering if I'll survive
Jumping off the fastest train
Break my fall, not my neck
Jumping for joy and love and luck and life and lust
Happy to be alive
Happy to live this life
Make the choice
Pay the price
Make the choice
Live the life
