Tom Stoppard - The Great Gig in the Sky lyrics

I'm not ready! This is not a drill. This is it I need time to think No. You came in like a bird through a window and out. It's done But I have to find the words Hold a thought like holding a breath till you can't hold it anymore. Then hold it more, till you think you're going to die. And let it go... A thought wave. Soundwaves of pure thought I'm getting voices... Thought waves. You can do that! Take a breath, hold it... Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world... she walked into mine You go girl So woe to you Oh woe to you and me And woe to all of us But we can save the Earth from turning to dust and bones Dust and bones; from fire and flood Look here's the thing Here's what I'm saying The Earth is the common You can't save it for yourself but you can save it for others And the others will save it for you The other is us and we are the other We are of a kind We are natural born to kindness Which means to act as to our kind as kin to kin As kindred which is to act kindly What is the good? It's nothing but a contest of kindness To be unkind is against nature and it makes us feel bad To be selfish is against nature because it is against our kindness We are as natural born to unselfishness as a mother to her baby Her milk is the milk of human kin and kindness But when we live for trickery and gain we turn against nature And nature will turn against us We will be lords of dust And bones
