Lyrics for Blessed in an Open Head

Present the images That the probate eye can't search A warning fire shot To reclaim salt of the earth Find a moment in your time I say Live the moment when you find You'll blow your mind You won't get dead Is blessed in an open head Faith and policy At the central tug of war I am Olympia And the ego men I store Find a moment in your time I say Live the moment when you find You'll blow your mind You won't get dead Is blessed in an open head You'll find you skin Beyond the reach Of those who can And those who preach To go away And still remain Is blessed in an open vein Together yet will fall apart Is blessed in an open heart
