Spin's Continuum

Under the spotlight, what would you see


besides what you've already gleaned? You know,


curiosity kills the cat. It also kills the soul.

                         too much

It just doesn't pay to know too much.

                       you're way too much



I always said transparency's best,


as much as possible. Lifting a scab


leaves injury. Does it matter whose?

                       too much

It just doesn't pay to know too much.

                     you're way too much



Only matter separates: Time + Distance = Air.


After all, hurt me, you hurt yourself.


Yes, with all this space between us,

                      too much

It just doesn't pay to know too much.

                      you're way too much



let's talk about unknowns existing


within this spin's continuum.


Do you crave total dominuum?

                            too much

It just doesn't pay too much to know too much.

                          you're way too much



Under the microscope, what would I find


besides what's already in my mind? You know,


curiosity kills the cat. It also kills the bird.


Oh... hadn't you heard?



Irreverence (for) your mark and trade


couched in carpet covered platitudes


blame it on the exile's rotten attitude,


perhaps the northern latitude. After all,

                          too much

It just doesn't pay to know too much.

                          you're way too much



I always say transparency's best.
