Radio Free Babylon™ IS COMING TO YOUR TOWN 

Room in The Boat

From the album Telegraph Canyon

I’m a freak show
And a weird-o
I’m always punctual
So dysfunctional
I’m reformed
I’m fundamental
I’m traditional
Experiential
I’m a Shaker
I’m a Quaker
I’m a Baptist
and a Trappist
I’m a Friend
I’m with the Brethren
I’m an addict
And a reverend
I’m insecure
I’m not so sure
Have I been cured?
Am I so pure?

Where you’ve been and where you’re gonna be
is not for me to see
What you did and what you’re gonna do
is not what qualifies you
is it true that we’re just what we perceive
or what we think we believe
I’m just trying to finish the float
and there’s room in the boat

I’m Charismatic
I’m problematic
I’m latter rain
I feel your pain
I’m old fashioned
I’m progressive
I’m laid back
I’m aggressive
I’m a throwback
to the fast track
I’m with the Jew
And he’s with you
I’m a disciple
I’m a student
I am careless
And imprudent
I’m a sinner
I’m a winner
The air seems thinner
I’m at the dinner

Where you’ve been and where you’re gonna be
is not for me to see
What you did and what you’re gonna do
is not what qualifies you
is it true that we’re just what we perceive
or what we think we believe
I’m just trying to finish the float
and there’s room in the boat
