Roy Harper, Jimmy Page - Bad Speech lyrics

I was not put here - (by anyone)
By anyone in fear i came alone as me
Just an idea in a long chain
Of discovery surrounded by the same -
You sometimes your tide
Pulls me out to sea and I die

In a trashing curse sometimes we are kind
More often I doze - So far up the beach
That those who try to reach are burnt alive
In the searing heat of the desert
Of my dispassion so far removed
I never hear the water

'Cept once or twice a month
When I see a mirror and I refuse to believe
In some of the things
That are said to be here let alone those
That are not i'm trying to change
My direction ours is pathetic
In my own humble estimation

I love the planet the great bening she-wolf
Benefactor spinning gently on
Towards the red giant four aeons hence
When all the rose gardens
Are consumed in the flash-fire
Of flying time she'll leave alone too
