Simple, Ordinary Guys

Simple Ordinary Guys

This is the next song in the possession album - it involves the theme of simple ordinary people being confronted with the numinous.

 The lyrics are:

We'll tell you this, and it's no lie
We are just ordinary guys

We are simple ordinary guys

Our whole view of the world has changed
And our brains now feel rearranged

We are simple ordinary guys

We like to drink beer and some whiskey
Listening to country music songs
It might make us tear, with eyes, misty
And we always like to sing along

And we used to think we had the world all figured out

Now we do plainly see what the world is all about

Or, I guess, we should say, we know part of what is there

In the bright, sunny day, there's a fire god and some bears

Are you aware that there's bears and a fire god there?

And we all stare at the glare of the fiery stair

That he will ascend when he goes back up to the sun

And, in the end, we all know we'll miss him a ton

And we're trying to gather our thoughts
As we look up at this fire god

We are simple ordinary guys

Here's the alternative player-thingy, in case you need it:
