Joseph Arthur - It Takes A Lot Of Time To Live In The Moment Lyrics






It takes a lot of time to live in the moment
To become a thing of no thing
To bleed into emptiness
And be sucked into the cosmos
To reverse aging
And be born again into the arms
Of mother sucking at life
And infinitely charged an infant
It takes a lot of time to live in the moment
To believe without belief
To suffer without grief
To steal the riches without being a thief
By taking it all
The construct
The identity
The ego
And lighting it up with fluid and a match
And as it burns
Throw it to the cops of soul who catch
Arrest it and kick it back
Into the center of the sun
Burning out black hole teeth
Laughing and chewing the moment
It takes a lot of time to live in
As it takes a lot of time to live in the moment

Where dark is light
And blindness sight
And where wrong is right
And the day is night
And there is no more I, or you, or time
Or future
Or need to nickel and dime
Or skin
Or bones
Or thought of rhymes
Just the evil low-end buzz of consciousness fuzz
Blossoming rose to the nose of eternity eternal
And the vast never-was
Sucking all the fire from the old sun
And lighting up the new one
For the generations to come
Who have so much time to live in the moment
It takes a lot of time to live in the moment

  6. A.... L....

    The entire album is superb!. Had it on repeat in the car for the last three weeks. Can't remember the last time I loved EVERY track on an album.

  7. J.... S....

    What a SOUND!

  8. G.... D....

    If I had the money I would buy a similar black polyester gorilla jacket/shirt/fur thing? that peter is wearing here. I don't think I could pull it off as he does, but at the office I would be the talk of the day.

    ok'ish.as was are you electrified..was hoping for something better considering the talent on show.

  12. G.... K....

    ok needs work. sorry not impressed. Sounds like a ripoff of something I heard in the 70s to be honest. when I figure it out I will get back to you.

  13. C.... H....

    Joseph I feel I know you
    You have been a bright light 💡 during dark indifferent times. I met Lou Reed when I was 16 at cbgbs in the old New York of the 70s. I also had my first drink 🍹 in a bar at 13 when the drinking age was 18. Which was after my father had just died. The song
    They played while I ordered my tequila sunrise 🌅 was walk on the wild side. Life was
    Different then. I would have to agree with you! I miss the Zoo!!!!!!!!! But that’s a different song of yours, a very good one
    Thanks so much for speaking the truth in your poetic lyrical way when not many had the courage to you SHINE!!!!!

  14. i.... ....

    A wonderful song. The more I hear it...the better it is...the more I like it! Great artwork by Joseph Arthur. He’s found his voice again.

  15. D.... P....

    FANTASTIC

  16. d.... r....

    very very nice

  17. J.... M....

    My first thought after seeing the profile pic was , what the heck is peter buck doing partnering with Andy Dick? Song is stuck next my head now

  18. N.... M....

    LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  19. a.... c....

    MMMMMM...

  20. F.... R....

    Já no aguardo do álbum e das turnês.

  21. t.... ....

    Well, I probably shouldn't compare this to Michael Stipe's new song, but I will. This one is much better than that one.

    t.... ....

    Michael's new song is just a demo snippet, I think, but it has promise.

  22. S.... W....

    Anyone else hear Losing My Religion at the very beginning? I agree with others here that this isn't a masterpiece, but it's darn catchy. I think I can hear definitely hear Peter's guitar in the background though, his style is unforgettable!

    S.... W....

    cmdfanxp Yo☝️

    S.... W....

    I hear Ian Anderson.

  23. D.... D....

    Didnt like it much at first listen. But it is a catchy song that stays in your head.
    With repeat listens it does sound pretty good.

  24. d.... j....

    Amazing. LOVE IT.

  25. G.... H....

    Train wreck

  26. N.... D....

    i don't think you repeated that one line in the chorus enough to hamner home the point you were trying to make. cough,cough, hack, cough...

  27. M.... S....
