I CAN'T GIVE IT UP

    lyrics (c) 1992 Jonathan Caws-Elwitt

    I can't give it up
    Everything has a finite scope or playing time
    I know it, but it's hard to face a void inside
    I want each hour to roll in bearing colored lights
    Host self-illuminated nights
    Promised myself that I'd sit down
    When I had no more to say
    Every time I scrape the barrel
    Look to a next day
    'Cause I can't give it up
    Everyone is a finite set of things we see
    It's hard to get perspective when the subject's me
    I want the life to flow so seamlessly around
    And not let stagnation bring me down
