Elysium

By Indi Riverflow | June 2, 2014

Went out tilting at windmills
Across groundless molehills
Tried to hitch a ride to the spectacle
Hangin’ on to the edge of my skull

And my thumb went numb
Waiting for the answer to come
So I asked the travelers at random
If they knew the way to Elysium
If they knew the way to Elysium

{Chorus}
The paradox of paradise
Heaven’s only a slice
Without the underworld’s fire
The whole globe would be on ice

One broke out his flowchart
Elegant with gold-inlaid art
Said depends on where you start
Destiny has got a lot of moving parts

The next said I know but will not tell
But what if we sit here for a spell
Upon this unhinged carousel
And reflect our paths in parallel
Reflect our paths in parallel

{Chorus}

For a while we spun all the dials
And turned that inch into many miles
Still I remained an empty exile
Chasing the impossible endless smile

I built a scenic bridge to forever
Whiled away ages in the endeavor
Stranger said, well, that’s very clever
But you’re gonna need a bigger lever
Yeah, you’re gonna need a bigger lever
