Patti Smith Stride Of The Mind
I took a walk out to the sun
But I just, just couldn't take it
I followed a dream, it was circular
But I just, just could not fake it
Step to the left, the left, the left
Step to the right, the right, the right
Pick up the sign, the sign, the sign
For a stride of the mind, the mind, the mind
Simon of the desert blew into town
The scalding tail of a bright cold wind
Slipped through the sand, footprints emerged
Where no one was walking, Simon had been
Dropped from heaven to a readymade world
Says I'm no Sufi but I'll give it a whirl
We booked passage on the book of the dead
Time to travel, Simon said
Step to the left, the left, the left
Step to the right, the right, the right
Pick up the sign, the sign, the sign
For a stride of the mind, the mind, the mind
Come on move, where dreams increase
Where every man is a masterpiece
If you want to be counted as another kind
And you're true, pursue
Stride of the mind, the mind, the mind
Stride of the mind, the mind, the mind
Stride of the mind, the mind, the mind
Stride of the mind, the mind, the mind
He bowed three times, removed his fez
Pointed to heaven and Simon says
The mind, the mind, the mind
Pick up the sign, the mind, the mind
It's a vertical climb, the climb, the climb
Stride of the mind, the mind, the mind
Pick up the sign, the sign, the sign
It's a vertical climb, the climb, the climb
Take it in stride
