Lyrics (unofficial)
[rev. Sept. 6, 2010]
Distance ain't a joke
When you're wheelless and broke
But I'm walking through time
And I'm starting to acclimatize
Long may you run
Yeah, the race has begun
But I'm looking so slow
I'm starting to get solarized
You see, this map is unclear
It says you are here
But I lost my little gem
Had it all memorized
Your mouth, who knows what lies ahead
Her eyes, who sees eyes ahead (alright now)
I wade through this marsh
And these measures are harsh
But I'm sifting through sand
Starting to get vandalized
And I fight off the birds
That feed off my words
But my brain fuels my thoughts
'Cos my heart has been cauterized
Your mouth, who knows what lies ahead
Her eyes, who sees eyes ahead
Your mouth, who knows, lies ahead
Her eyes, who sees eyes ahead
You see there's nothing up my sleeve (your mouth)
Nothing you won't believe (who knows)
I'm just saving my hide (lies ahead)
No one you should idolize
