Baby Be Simple

In and out

That's the way in

I saw an old sign

When my world was way down

Quiet on the streets

So I climbed the stairs

To the rarified air

I've been on fire

Made from my thoughts

I thought up my life by

Out then back in

That's the way to begin

But I had to climb down

Into today

And give up the pain

I held myself up by

Baby, be simple with me

Out, thicker skin

That's no way to begin

Come with your true arc

To fall all the way down

Like an empire

Into a kingdom of guts

To become a rooftop

I built me from the bedrock

Made me right up

Ignited little tunes

While the wind was still

Trying to find a way to tell you

If or not the true arc

Is even there

Or on a pillow of air

I'll rip me apart by the lore

Cause to become that rooftop

I had to fall all the way down

Baby, be simple with me
