ströer bros. & fine - stay on course toward the source lyrics

[intro]
(all we gotta get is out
out of our own way
all we gotta get is out
out of our own way
all we gotta get is
out of our own way)

{verse 1]
[voice]
are you still a pilgrim
or have you become the path?
if you meet the buddha, ask him
how to soothe jehovah’s wrath

[howard fine]
and end the ancient riddle
of the empty sentient middle

[bridge]
[voice]
stay on course toward the source

[verse 2]
[howard fine]
thirsty for salvation
we’re the thirst and we’re the cure
living lives as fish or fishers when
in fact, we are the lure

[voice]
by force of faith or fate
we struggle to endure;
[howard fine]
far fiercer love than hate
long muddled shall be pure

[howard fine]
what role does the body play?
[voice]
never the same as yesterday

(body’s where we live and die)
[voice]
this is the seer, this is the eye

[howard fine]
lourdes and mecca, wailing wall
timbuktu, kathmandu
(each one waits in bone and cell
heaven is here and so is h-ll)

are you still a seeker
or have you become the sought?
if you meet the seller, ask him
how to lose the self you bought
and become the deathless dancer’s
beatific breathless answers

[bridge]
[voice]
stay on course toward the source
(we’ll stay on course, we’ll stay on course)
[howard fine]
winged horse
(we’ll stay on course, we’ll stay on course)
wisdom’s source

[verse 3]
pining for enlightenment
we’re the patient and the leach
repeating lives as learners though
there’s nothing left to teach

[voice]
sn-tch at phantom straws
floating out of reach
natural fairy law’s
impossible to breach

[howard fine]
(what lock fits no mind’s key?
ever the game of “you and me”)
[voice]
(ever the game of “you and me”)

[howard fine]
no-mind’s free to laugh and cry
savannah tree: that ape am i

(lourdes and mecca, wailing wall
timbuktu, kathmandu)
[howard fine]
each one waits in bone and cell
[voice]
heaven is here and so is h-ll

[chorus]
(outer sp-ce fuels inner flight
way out of sight
one last chance to set it right
way out of sight
we’ve got to get
out of our own way
outside, way out of sight)

[verse 4]
(by force of faith or fate
by force of faith or fate
[voice]
(body’s where we live and die)
this is the seer, this is the eye

(by force of faith or fate
by force of faith or fate
are you still a pilgrim
or have you become the path?
are you still a pilgrim
or have you become the path?)

[howard fine]
and solve the endless riddle
of the awesome breathing middle

[chorus]
(outer sp-ce fuels inner flight
way out of sight
one last chance to set it right
way out of sight
we’ve got to get
out of our own way
outside, way out of sight)

[chorus]
(third eye open, second sight
way out of sight
one eye, body full of light
way out of sight
we’ve got to get
out of our own way
outside, way out of sight)

[bridge]
[voice]
stay on course toward the source
(stay on course toward the source)

[howard fine]
all that’s implode in only this
nursed and cursed by the spoken word
oh mother tongue!
(we’ll stay on course, we’ll stay on course)
not forked, but double-edged

(stay on course toward the source)
the poet, talking about the moon, is not the moon
or is he?
(we’ll stay on course, we’ll stay on course)
it’s easy to be in two places
(we’ll stay on course, we’ll stay on course)
at once when you’re already everywhere
if taliesin could do it, we can, too
so we gotta keep asking:
who, who, who am i?
(stay on course toward the source)
working in the grime, lurking under rhyme
hurting all the time even when it feels good
[voice]stay on course toward the source
(we’ll stay on course, we’ll stay on course)
(we’ll stay on course, we’ll stay on course)
[howard fine]
go ahead and groan with the godd-mn pain of it all
take it in, chew it small
take what you need, make it part of yourself
(stay on course toward the source)
and let go!
