[Verse 1]
What care [G]I for time?
I mean, people are confused
about it anyhow.
You know, talking...
What is that thing [Am]fly
[G]ing around?[F]
[Bb]
[G]It's [E]weird, huh?
[B]No, [Em]it's true.
You know, [G]people are concerned.
I've been... I was reading a book
about it.
And it said that time doesn't really
ex[Bb]ist.
[G]just a [F]kind of figment of your,
[G]it's not even that.
But what it is, is,
and this is where it gets really weird.
I didn't finish the book, [Am]by the way,
[G]but it starts talking about time
as a thing [C]that happens
because people have these things
[G]called cells.
[C]I know it sounds crazy,
[G]hard to believe,
but it's really true.
It's these little round things.
And, [B]uh,
[G]somehow or other, they're part of you.
[Bb]And they...
But they [G]don't ever touch each other,
exactly.
They're kind of like
Puritan cells.
At least, that's how they act.
And some...
But they exist, you see,
because there's stuff happens between them,
kind of like a spark plug.
[C]And that's what they call the [G]celery gap
or something like that.
It's what, what, you're going, that's,
I read it.
It's really true.
Because people say
[F]that those cells can think.
[G]It's what you call celery con[C]sciousness.
And that means that [G]vegetables can think.
And I always kind of believed that anyhow.
I mean, I never really talked
to him [C]personally,
[G]although I've [B]met some in [G]my time.
I don't know what it all means,
I never got that far.
But I thought it was interesting,
because what that means is,
oh, [Am]what I was talking about,
was that [G]the reason that time,
I know I'm supposed to be singing,
but you can't always
do what you're supposed to do.
But,
No, but what they say is that time exists like
we know it because cells don't touch
each other.
And therefore, all the thoughts got to go from
one to the other.
And if you could stick all the cells on top of each other and
then jump on them an[C]d make
it one big one or [G]something,
then time would always be now and it wouldn't [G]be what there
was [C]an d what they're gonna [G]be so I've been think
ing does [G]that mean when I was
here before that I was here now or am I
not really here now because I might be
here later or maybe it doesn't even matter but
I've been giving this a lot
of thought because I know that there's people
out most people out here into
to that stuff, and I just wanted to say,
I'm with you.
I just
