651 : 1/21/00 : Non Attachment (Flesh and Bones: An Homage 98/101)

If I gave up smoking
and defied all augury
gave up always looking ahead
then where would I be
Hey na na na non attachment
Nothing not present is required
I will stay the course I’ve chosen
full or hungry rested or tired
If I gave up telling fortunes
just lived in the day
If I gave up writing songs
What else would I have to say
Hey na na na non attachment
Rising it collapses to a point
I am free of everything
falling it creates another joint
