Phil Keaggy - Duct Tape Universe (live version) lyrics

I started out believing The universe was space That all the solid objects were founded in full grace I started out believing That earthworms could not crawl That music prays, a donkey brays Dogs have days, a horse has neighs And everyone has a ball But it's a duct tape ball Ooey, gooey, stringy, chewy, mushy kind of ball Wrapped, flapped, tapped, sapped Constantly moving, ever oozing Sticky, stringy, kind of springy What could be worse? Oh what a curse I'm a duct tape ball in a duct tape universe I have a duct tape dog and a duct tape cat They are tightly wrapped in the fibrous grey They make no sound, just scratch all day Hardly moving, always watching Can't stop cleaning, never grooving Always grey, duct tape grey Such a disgrace to lose all grace Never believing, never giving, never trusting, always lusting Can't get unwrapped, can't shake the trap Desperately lost with nothing to say Stuck to my duct tape grey But it's a duct tape ball Ooey, gooey, stringy, chewy, mushy kind of ball Wrapped, flapped, tapped, sapped Constantly moving, ever oozing Sticky, stringy, kind of springy What could be worse? Oh what a curse I'm a duct tape ball in a duct tape universe Give me a sign, give me a day Give me relief, a small belief Unwrap my soul, just hand me a goal Start a small tear, I'll take it from there Please listen to me as I give you a call From my duct tape ball With hope and belief I'll begin to unwind I'll start to see light, and the sun will shine I'll shed the grey for the light of day And all will say it's ok to pray With a belief in God I'll get the nod To unwrap my ball - my duct tape ball In a duct tape universe Give me a hand, let me hear the band Give me a smile, please stay a while Show me the way, I'm willing to pray Show me the goal and release my soul Let your light shine through the fibrous maze Remove the wrap, remove the haze Let me out of this stall in my duct tape ball Set me free, lift my heart, give to me a fresh new start In my duct tape world In this duct tape universe But it's a duct tape ball Ooey, gooey, stringy, chewy, mushy kind of ball Wrapped, flapped, tapped, sapped Constantly moving, ever oozing Sticky, stringy, kind of springy What could be worse? Oh what a curse I'm a duct tape ball in a duct tape universe I'm a duct tape ball in a wound-up universe I'm a duct tape ball in a wounded universe I'm a duct tape ball in a duct tape universe
