i took a long hard look
at the sun-drenched babbling brook
suspended on a fallen log
before i made my way across
the myriad and glistening webs
they caught my eye, they caught my head
i took a long hard look
at the sun-drenched babbling brook

i'm becoming a botanist, a physicist, a neurologist
now i'm getting the gist and i'd be remiss
to dismiss all the fistfuls of trysts accrued in my lists
now i'm getting the gist

i took a seat in that stream
so serene, so sparkling clean
seeds spilling from treetops
swirling little drops of dye
life right left
caught my eye, it caught my head
i took a seat in that stream
so serene, so sparkling clean

i'm becoming a botanist, a physicist, a neurologist
now i'm getting the gist and i'd be remiss
to dismiss all the fistfuls of trysts accrued in my lists
now i'm getting the gist

i brought the elixir to my tongue
and proposed a toast to all my children unsung
as my extremities grew numb
i understood from where i had come
from where i had come

i'm becoming a botanist, a physicist, a neurologist
now i'm getting the gist and i'd be remiss
to dismiss all the fistfuls of trysts accrued in my lists
now i'm getting the gist
