I saw a glittering dawn
I seen a beautiful morning
Shining on the hill
And I grabbed the cat by the tail
The future with my finger nails
But now I live in fear

It's all out of focus
It's all, baby, so unclear
It's all out of focus
It's all, baby, so unreal (Nothing is revealed)

I saw towering spires, I heard beautiful chimes
I heard them peal
I saw visions of grace, I saw a heavenly place
And it disappeared

Maybe I lied a little bit too much
Maybe (Sometime) I cried a little bit too much
I saw the future just shatter like glass

I was walking on cloud, yeah and talking so proud
But I did not hear
Voices singing so loud said you're tumbling down
To the streets of tears

Yeah

Sometime I lied a little bit too hard
Sometime I cried a little bit too hard
I saw the future just vanish like glass

Hey

It's all out of focus
It's all so unreal
It's all out of focus
Nothing, nothing is...

It's all hocus pocus
Everybody...

I was going to start (the record) with that! That was the other one I almost started off with. Out of Focus is really a gospel tune, the lyrics are kind of gospel. Billy Preston plays on it.
