Daydream (Original Vocal Mix)

If you talk all the time

You'll never hear what anybody else has to say

And therefore all you'll have to talk about is your own conversation

The same is true for people who think all the time

That means, when I use the word think, talking to yourself

Subvocal conversation, the constant, uh, chit-chat of

Symbols and images, talk and words inside your skull

Now, if you do that all the time you'll find that

You've nothing to think about except thinking

And just as you have to stop talking to hear what others have to say

You have to stop thinking to find out what life is about

And the moment you stop thinking

You will come into immediate contact with what

Korzybski called, so delightfully, the unspeakable world

You have to stop thinking to find out what life is about

You have to stop thinking to find out what life is about

You have to stop thinking to find out what life is about

That's why Lao Tzu said, "The five colors make

A man blind, the five tones make a man deaf."

Because if you can only see five colors you're blind

And if you can only hear five tones in music you're deaf

You see, if you, if you force sound into five tones

You force color into five colors, you're blind and deaf

The world of color is infinite, as is the world of sound

And it is only through stopping, fixing conceptions on the world

Of color and sound, that you really begin to hear it and see it

So, let me say again, I'm not talking about the ordering of ordinary

Everyday life in a reasonable and methodical way as being

Schoolteacher-ish, and saying, "If you

Were nice people that's what you would do"

For heaven's sake, don't be nice people

But the thing is that unless you do have that basic framework

Of a certain kind of order and a certain kind of discipline

The force of liberation will blow the world to pieces

It's too strong a current for the wire

You have to stop thinking to find out what life is about

You have to stop thinking to find out what life is about

You have to stop thinking to find out what life is about

Subvocal conversation, the constant, uh, chit-chat of

Symbols and images, talk and words inside your skull

Now, if you do that all the time you'll find that

You've nothing to think about except thinking

And just as you have to stop talking to hear what others have to say

You have to stop thinking to find out what life is about

And the moment you stop thinking

You will come into immediate contact with what

Korzybski called, so delightfully, the unspeakable world
