One To Ten

In a dream i fall asleep while driving
and wake up in a panic
so many nights like this
but i continue on because there isn't any other choice
 
And i really don't know any more
where this road is leading
turn on the radio and hear
an uptight politician
 
And this is a repeat broadcast, three in the morning
a repeat broadcast, because there isn't anything new
the ego is in charge in Zion and also in Ramallah
seeing it up close, seeing it unclear
 
And if you are one
how did i count to ten?
again and again i'm in a maze of mirrors
no longer search for words that'll make sense of this
i want only to love, to dance and to live
 
Oh oh oh oh oh...
 
Afraid of becoming addicted to a crown
to the undefeatable demon
ending up alone, living in a lie
afraid of dying, of being forgotten
 
I didn't demand a prophesy, nor nirvana
not speaking lofty, supreme
only to sit with my tribe
and to breath in Pardes Hanna1
i ask for love for us
 
And if all is one
how did i count to ten?
again and again i'm in a maze of mirrors
no longer search for words that'll make sense of this
i want only to try, to make mistakes and to live
 
Oh oh oh oh oh...
 
In a dream i'm traveling
and again the wheel is in my hands
turn on the radio and hear
the voice of the people, the voice of G-d2
 
And elections again but i have not yet chosen
because there isn't any one and any reason
if i'm not the ruler of the fable to which i'm attached
so who will find comfort for me?
 
And again all is one
and again all is ten
and again and again i'm in a maze of mirrors
no longer search for words that'll make sense of this
i want only to try, to make mistakes and to live
 
Oh oh oh oh oh...
 
And again and again i'm in a maze of mirrors
no longer search for words that'll make sense of this
i want only to love, to dance and to live
 
Oh oh oh oh oh...
