J.D. Souther - The Secret Handshake of Fate lyrics

If the world was flat I'd walk off the edge But I can't 'cause it's to big and round I can just see myself Falling through space Grateful not to be found Trouble with living here in the future And sailing the Dutchman's sea Is the trouble with love in the present tense And the fear of eternity See no matter where you are You're about to come round To just where you've already been Don't be afraid It happens to people And then it happens again and again Go off this marble Leave something here For somebody else but you Awww it's a pity Most folks don't realize If the world was safe I'd fly in my sleep Crashing right through these blue walls Doubts and fears would rise Like a duster in Texas Cushion my deadly fall The problem is worse If you're religious What keeps your head in its place? They think what they think But you know what you know The secrete handshake of fate If the world was you I'd travel extensively Visiting some places twice Scrambling for purchase Wherever it's slippery Against all and any advise I'd sleep upside down For a new view of heaven Dream at both ends of the night All through the middle I'd breathe with you Knowing we'd be all right (Then we'd go) Twisting into the light
