  • Come to send not condescend
    Transcendental consequences to transcend...
    Where we are...Who are we? Who we are...
    Trampled moss on your souls...
    Changes all you're a part...
    Seen it all not at all...
    Can't defend the command...
    Take me a for a ride before we leave...
    Circumstance clappin' hands...
    A driving winds happenstance...
    Off the track in the mud...
    That's the moss in the aforementioned verse...
    ...miraculous...and a little...
    Just a little time, before we leave...
    Stoplight plays its part...
    So I would say you've got a part...
    What's your part? Who you are
    You are who, who you are... Writer/s: EDDIE VEDDER, JACK IRONS, STONE GOSSARD

  • Zach from Tallahassee, FlI wonder why Pearl Jam hates this song and this album so much, it is so good and the best album they ever made. Maybe it did horrible on the charts, but they sell-out concerts within 10 seconds, and make enough money.
  • Bill from Pierce , IdThe tune seems to imply a thirst for the spirit in a hard and hateful world, much like the song "In My Tree"; I love them both.
  • Jessica from Calgary, AbThis song is strange but I it has a good message and is a good example of existentialism.
  • Troy from Little Falls, Mnwe all are important. we have a place and everything down to the simply things in life -there is a purpose enjoy every moment it "plays a part"
  • Angelo from New York, NyMaybe its me but I do not see the suicide message in it.
  • Sharpy!!! from Pittsworth, AustraliaBut this song is very upbeat!!! Weird but upbeat
  • Sharpy!!! from Pittsworth, AustraliaThis song is a bit weird! The NO CODE album was weird! It sounded sorta Middle Eastern in a way!
  • Ben from Nyc, MsSweet I am the second person to comment. Never really listened to PJ, maybe I will soon.
  • Elliot from St. Louis, MoSweet, I am the first person to comment! This is a good song, but it lacked some of the grunge PJ had in their earlier music. Nonetheless, Pearl Jam is the best band ever! You guys rock!
