Mount Analogue - Idlewild

You don’t have to, you don’t have to

You don’t have to look upon people in the third person

Don’t have to, you don’t have to, it’s true

You don’t have to, you don’t have to

I can give you an example of writing in the third person

The woods are lovely, dark and deep

But I have promises to keep

And miles to go before I sleep (before I sleep)

Before I sleep

It’s like Mount Analogue

If you say that you’ve seen it don’t sway it

Because it means more or less nothing to me and you

Nothing beyond, beyond

Nothing to you

'Cause even if you’ve got somewhere to go, something to say

Nothing to do

That means more or less nothing to me and you

Nothing beyond, beyond

Nothing to you

You don’t have to, you don’t have to

Advertise everything to me in the third person

(Don't have to, don’t have to, it’s true)

If it’s the happiest place on Earth (don't have to, don’t have to)

It only exists because you let it turn into something real (don't have to,

don’t have to)

Climbing Mount Analogue

Allegorically the reason it’s there

Is one of inaccessibility

At least it’s inaccessible to you and me

So you might as well do the frog, season my dog

Season my chili with a growing sense of inevitability
