Scattered - Beaver Nelson
If I seem a little scattered
If I seem a little tossed
It's 'cause I thought that something mattered
Now that something is lost
Thought I saw it in Chicago
Or somewhere south of San Antone
Thought I saw it flying cargo
Over caves of fire and bone
You say I will never find it
'Cause it ain't looking for me
So if I seem a little scattered
If I seem a little tossed
It's 'cause I thought that something mattered
Now that something is lost
Thought I had it on my shoulder
Thought it'd never go away
A little dumber little older
'Til there's nothing much to say
I'll soon be there in God's great stare
And that's why I can be here
So if I seem a little scattered
If I seem a little tossed
It's 'cause I thought that something mattered
Now that something is lost
Guess I went around the corner
There's always something left to do
Something new and something former
Don't mix as well as they used to
Fire and ice in a box of time
When opened don't seem like nothing much at all
So if I seem a little scattered
If I seem a little tossed
It's 'cause I thought that something mattered
Now that something is lost
