Assembly of Dust - Fountain lyrics

I am not like those before me standing in a suit Now I face what stands before me And I'm singin' and I'm searchin' Singin' and I'm searchin' for the truth Once a man had two things that he cherished He was certain 'bout his job and 'bout his wife Because there's nothing ever certain in this life Once I came across a fountain Made three wishes, touched a dream Like a thought turnin' me over Inspiration's spinning me Around and around and around and around I go And I wonder if I'm trippin' on my words And if I'm stumblin' on my goals Maybe it's for me to determine Maybe I am like a book on a shelf Read me once and tell me how I end Because I'm singin' and I'm searchin' Singin' and I'm searchin' for myself You can ask me what is it your sayin' Who are you and what you tryin' to be I'd like to be a cowboy in the movies Smilin' at the people, I'd be smilin' at the people that I see So many things I stand to gain So many things that I have known I stand to lose
