Russell’s Paradox Blues

Close your eyes, let the time roll by
All those dreams that we sleep through
No nervousness
That restless feeling is no thing left to lose

You said, “Take me wherever I may go
And leave there with me too
We’ll tie a leash around tomorrow
And walk it to the moon”

“If no one asks we’ll know what to say
To make them wish they knew
Believe me, Oh believe me
Oh, nothing I say is true.”

How I might try to read your mind
If it was something I could do
But an apple to the untrained eye
Is just a danger posed as fruit

And in my time I’ve seen some lies
It’s hard to avoid the news
When you call me on a telephone
Singing Russell’s Paradox Blues

When no one asks we’ll know what to say
To make them wish they knew
Believe me, Oh believe me
Oh, nothing I say is true

Well a grain of rice is a grain of rice
Like a crystal ball is see through
But a grain of rice won’t save your life
Unless you got a cup or two

So take me wherever I may roam
And leave there with me too
We’ll hang our hopes around a home
And fly it to the moon

And when no one asks
We’ll know what to say
To make them wish they knew

Believe me, Oh believe me
Oh, nothing I say is true

Believe them all, believe them all
Nothing they say is true
