Heart of Quartz

from Spirit Hikes by Johnny Outdoors

/

about

A song about the deep, primal yearning to be amidst the mineral world.

lyrics

That’s the weight of my heart, love, that’s the weight of my heart of quartz.
That’s the weight of my heart, love, oh I can hardly keep time.

Oh, Johnny O. show me how to keep time moving like a line dancer grooving to a world to an oldvolanic beat.
Oh, Johnny O. show me to make time with those minute hands, you prayed I could be made of some cold mechanic meat.

That’s the weight of my heart, love, that’s the weight of my heart of quartz.
That’s the weight of my heart, love, oh I can hardly keep time.

Oh, Johnny O. wake up, wake up smell the bacon, it’s your own flesh cooking on the coals of time.
Oh, Johnny O. wake up, stand up feel your skin now you’re a bona fide synthetic man, come and hold me tight.

There’s a way out. There’s a way!
There’s a way out west, show the way out to the place where the people grow, a place where the people show me how to live, how to love, and how to keep time.

Because, keeping time it satisfies, when you got no boot to shine.
Keeping time it satisfies your mind when, your kind ends.

Oh, Johnny O. show me how to make time.
Oh, Johnny O. show me how to love.

That’s the weight of my heart, love, that’s the weight of my heart of quartz.
That’s the weight of my heart, love, oh I can hardly keep time.
