*********
when you're running fast
and won't slow down
it's hard to convince someone that you're not running away

and when you're driving faster
and you're thinkin' about stopping to say "hey"
just remember, if you change your mind,
instead of just passing by, you're driving away

you're winded and jaded and speaking in tongues
like there's someone else in there sharing your blood
renting out space for one or two months
breathing along inside your lungs

that boy's got a heart string miles and miles long
and the girl that's plucking it is plucking it strong
and he hasn't gone anywhere but he still looks like he's lost
though no compass has done him wrong


oh, a man alone
tripping on his toes
head is in the dirt
looking for the reddest rose

oh, and he knows
*35* miles to go
and all along that road
is a shoulder he can cry on


now shadows are like a bad simile when it's sunny
and you can find a public parking lot to sleep in if you're lucky
being less than complete is what being human's all about since
loyalty's a bitch and mine's having puppies

so i guess living is just dealing with life
striking and smiting and strafing the strife
and if a pretty lady wants to teach you to skate
then you'd damn well better make her your wife


oh, a man alone
tripping on his prose
writing down and speaking are two things that aren't as close as they might seem
and he knows
150/450 miles to go
and all along that road
is a shoulder he can cry on

oh, a man alone
stripping off his clothes
hoping for a flower to admire his wild tiger pose
oh and he knows
2500/4100/5100 miles to go
and all along that road
is a shoulder he can cry on
