Lyrics
Scattered
By 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

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
I thought it’d never go away
A little dumber, little older
Till there’s nothing much to say

I’ll soon be there in God’s great stare
And that’s why I can be here

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

Fire and ice in a box of time
When opened, don’t seem like nothing much at all

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
