City Of San Jose
Discovering Serenity: City Of San Jose's Poetic Landscape
Lyrics
I flew in from Colorado
I arrived from Colorado.
I've been incommunicado for a while
I've been out of touch for a while.
If the last 12 months have taught you anything
If the past year has taught you anything.
It's that talkin's not my style
Expressing myself verbally is not my usual way.
But I want to send a quick top of the mornin'
Despite my reserved nature, I want to greet you good morning.
From the bottom of the Bay
From the Bay's lowest point.
Where pelicans and planes fly lazy circles
Observing pelicans and planes creating lazy circles in the sky.
'Round the city of San Jose
Around the city of San Jose.
I spent so many years pickin' fights
I've spent many years engaging in conflicts.
And drinkin' wisdom from the fountain
Seeking knowledge from life experiences.
Imagine my surprise- the ocean didn't care
Surprisingly, the ocean and mountains remained indifferent to my struggles.
And neither did the mountains
Realizing the futility, I closed my mouth and eyes.
So I shut my mouth and shut my eyes
Stepping back, allowing the desolate landscape to speak.
Stepped back and let the wasteland have its say
While pelicans and planes continued their lazy circles.
While pelicans and planes flew lazy circles
Around the city of San Jose.
'Round the city of San Jose
Continuing to endure challenges without clear solutions.
You can beat your head against the wall
One can persistently pursue revelations and creative insights.
Waiting for epiphanies and brainstorms
Or face the overwhelming force of emotional turmoil.
You can stand outside and drown yourself
I choose to visit friends instead.
In the rage and retribution of a rainstorm
We'll spend time together, waiting for the day to pass.
Me, I'm gonna go and see my friends
Observing pelicans and planes in their leisurely patterns.
We'll sit and wish the day away
Around the city of San Jose.
Watchin' pelicans and planes fly lazy circles
Reiterating the beauty of pelicans and planes in circular motion.
'Round the city of San Jose
Around the city of San Jose.
Watch those pelicans and planes fly lazy circles
Emphasizing the repetitive yet serene nature of life.
'Round the city of San Jose
Around the city of San Jose.
