lyrics

imthtim

Did you ever get the feeling that you knew who you’d
be dealing with in just a few minutes though
it might have been years since you saw him or her last?
Maybe you saw somebody in a dream or a scheme you were
cooking up and he or she appeared to you like you conjured
them out of your past –

Well I’m here, you’re not mistaken
and I felt those impressions you were making
Wondered if this might be a place I could hang my hat
What would you think about that?

Once I tried to make a long distance call to my aunt in New York –
she was not home so I went to the park; a little old lady
said, “is that your dog?” and I said, “no but my aunt has one
just like it.” And I tried to take it home because it looked like
a stray but then the dog ran away and I ended up chasing after
the postwoman – she would not give me my mail unless I
showed her my license – guess who wrote a letter to me? My
auntie – here’s what she had to say; I’ll read it to you:

Well I’m here, you’re not mistaken
and I felt those impressions you were making
Wondered if this might be a place I could hang my hat
What would you think about that?

Old Einstein said if you’re in one place and somebody else
seems to be in another, the position and relation are a point of
negotiation along the space-time continuum.
And some other guy said if all that we do is just the
predetermined motion of atoms and electrons, how can we
know what we do is really true and not just our senses fooling
us – including fooling us
about the motion of atoms and electrons?
And that, my friends, is circular; or in fancier terms,
it’s tautological, highly-philosophical; really only means we
don’t know if we’re coming or going and this is evident in the
traffic patterns we see every day. So the next time somebody
bumps into you while you’re out on the go, just roll down
your window and say:

Well I’m here, you’re not mistaken
and I felt those impressions you were making
Wondered if this might be a place I could hang my hat
