outlive the dinosaur

Singer:pete townshend

i breathe

my throat clenches

clutching to exclude

a dozen different stenches

in falmouth bay

a blue whale rolls

gonna drown in the swill

from city sewer holes

summers longer

deltas gashed

ancient trees

uprooted

smashed

time is generous

more

take more

time is generous

more

take more

time is generous

more

take more

i must outrun the dinosaur

as to your question about how this will affect your career

the great artist is just like a child

and intuitively understands the need to submit to the audience. do you begin to see the secret?

a silent temple

marble-hard

decays and softens

battle-scarred

a relic deaf

to bits and streams

and polo necks

and perfect jeans

obsessed with silence

spiked by noise

i hold my son

i plan his toys

time expansive

more

take more

time expansive

more

take more

time expansive

more

take more

i must outlive the dinosaur

lastly

you must be prepared to test yourself. why not try the song i have enclosed?

it's an outtake from a secret project i'm working on called gridlife". the tape you sent shows you can sing
