Lyrics

[Intro] One, two, one, two [Verse 1] Know a man, his face seemed pulled and tense Like he's ridin' on a motorbike in the strongest winds So I approach with tact, suggest that he should relax But he's always movin' much too fast [Pre-Chorus 1] Said he'll see me on the flip side On this trip he's taking for a ride [Chorus 1] He's been takin' too much on There he goes with his perfectly unkempt clothes There he goes [Verse 2] He's yet to come back, but I've seen his picture It doesn't look the same up on the rack We go way back [Pre-Chorus 2] I wonder about his insides It's like his thoughts are too big for his size [Chorus 2] He's been taken—where? I don't know Off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope There he goes [Verse 3] And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned For he still smiles, and he's still strong Nothing's changed but the surroundin' bullshit, that has grown And now he's home, and we're laughin' like we always did My same old, same old friend [Outro] Until a quarter to ten, I saw the strain creep in He seems distracted and I know just what is gonna happen next Before his first step, he is off again [Instrumental Outro] (Here we go)
