Songtexte That! - Akira the Don , Alan Watts

That

And fathers flatter themselves that it's saying da-da
It's not
It's saying that
Pointing to thatness in everything
It's very important to see this
Because, umm
Everything is just that

That

I can say it in a negative way
Which you won't appreciate at first, perhaps
Everything is meaningless
Everything is meaningless
Only words have meaning
Because they point to something other than themselves
The sound of water
Is undrinkable

But it points to
The drinkable reality

But when you say "What is that!?"
Pointing at the water
And somebody says
"Water"
He's not being
Correct
Because what you're pointing at
Is not the noise water
So it's not water
It's that

That
It's that
That
That

And water is a kind of jazz
Bloop-bloop-bloop
It's just doing that
Bloop-bloop-bloop
It's just doing that

People are a kind of jazz
They talk and communicate with each other
But what does that mean?
Well they get together and they make more people
And they do this and they do that
And they do this and they do that
They eat and they go on doing the jazz but it's jazz
But-but it's just jazz
But-but it's just jazz
But-but it's just jazz
Jazz

And you begin to see as you do that
Everything's like music you see
It's all these complicated vibrations
Ju-ju-ju-ju-ju in all kinds of ways
